The
Nigeria Governors Forum has described as painful, the death of Mrs.
Margette Umahi, the mother of Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, who
died on October 6, after a brief illness.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Chairman of NGF, Gov. Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State on Saturday in Abuja.
Yari said
the death of Mrs. Margette Umahi was not only a loss to the Umahi family
and the good people of Ebonyi but to the entire nation.
He said the deceased died when her motherly advice and prayers for her son as governor were needed most.
Yari noted
that the late Umahi, who died at a Hospital in Enugu, was a devoted
Christian who lived an upright life serving God and the people of her
community.
He prayed God to grant the Umahi family, and the people of Ebonyi the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
