Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock at the sudden death of Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi, his wife and son in a tragic accident along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway on Sunday.
Buhari described Ocholi's death as untimely, regretting that Nigeria has lost a key component of the CHANGE agenda.
"Barrister Ocholi was an accomplished and patriotic Nigerian, who was keen to accept the call to service at a time his country needed him," President Buhari said, adding that in the few months he had been in office, the late minister of state had already begun to distinguish himself through his commitment and dedication to his portfolio.
The late Ocholi has had a long record of political association with President Buhari.
President Buhari also consoled with the government and people of Kogi State, whom he described as having lost a distinguished and irreplaceable son. He prayed that God would comfort them and grant them the grace to bear the loss.
"The entire country mourns the loss of this great man, who has sadly left us when we need him most," he said.
