Take Solace In God, APC Tells Jonathan Over Sister’s Death

Late Nancy Jonathan-Olei.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commiserated with President Goodluck Jonathan on the untimely death of his sister, urging him to take solace in God for the unquantifiable loss.


In a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the loss of a loved one is always an unfathomable tragedy, which is compounded when such death occurs at an unripe age.


”We pray that God will grant repose to the soul of the departed, comfort the President and his entire family and give them the strength to bear their loss.
”We also wish the immediate family of the deceased God’s succour in their moment of darkness,” it said.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan yesterday announced the passing away of his beloved younger sister, Mrs. Nancy Jonathan-Olei.

A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati said Mrs. Jonathan-Olei passed away earlier sunday at a hospital in Yenagoa after a brief illness.

Aged 52 years, the statement added that burial arrangements will be announced later by the family
