PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan and the Northern Governors\u2019 Forum, in separate statements, have commiserated with a former Minister of Information, Chief John Nwodo (Jnr), over the death of his wife, Obiageli, in a London hospital.<\/p>\n

  In a statement over the weekend by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, Jonathan, on behalf of himself, his family, the Federal Government and people of Nigeria, commiserated with Nwodo on the loss of his wife who was a Justice of the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n

  The statement read: \u201cBy her demise, your family has lost a dutiful wife and a devoted mother; Enugu State has lost one of her finest; our nation has lost an accomplished jurist and a veritable epitome of excellence in service. As you mourn, I wish, on behalf of my family, the government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to express our heartfelt commiseration with you at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

   Also, the Northern Governors\u2019 Forum, through its Chairman and Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, in a statement yesterday by his spokesman, Danladi Ndayebo, urged Nwodo and the family members to be encouraged by the fact that the deceased lived an inspiring and fulfilled life.<\/p>\n

  \u201cYou must be consoled by the fact that your wife departed after a life of dedicated service to God and humanity,\u201d Aliyu said.<\/p>\n

  He described the late Obiageli, who was a judge of the Court of Appeal, as a \u201cgood woman who had a positive impact on the environment, her immediate family, her community and all the people she met during her sojourn on earth, especially women and children.\u201d<\/p>\n

  Aliyu urged Nwodo to sustain his late wife\u2019s good work by promoting the cause of justice and touching the lives of the weak and the poor as a tribute to her memory.<\/p>\n
