Oshiomhole condoles with VP on brother’s death

By -
(Nigeria) Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has commiserated with the Vice President Namadi Sambo on the death of his younger brother, Captain Sabo Sambo in an auto accident.
In a condolence letter to the Vice President, Oshiomhole said “I learnt with great shock the news of the death from a ghastly road accident in Abuja of Your Excellency’s younger brother, Captain Sabo Sambo on Sunday, April 27, 2014.  I offer the condolences of the good people and Government of Edo State as well as my personal commiseration over the sad loss. This trying period, no doubt, calls for a renewed faith in the Glory and Majesty of Almighty Allah, from whom we all come and to whom we will all return.
“I appreciate the pain of the sudden departure of such a close and dear brother and confidante, particularly at a time when his care and support are direly needed by his immediate and extended family, his community and professional colleagues.
“We, however, take consolation in the fact that Captain Sambo lived a fulfilled life and served the nation diligently as a thoroughbred pilot. He would be sorely missed not only by the aviation industry but also by the many he touched with his generosity and kindness.
“Our supplication is for Almighty Allah to, in His infinite mercy, receive his soul with His love and forgiveness and bless him with Aljannah firdausi.  We also pray Almighty Allah to give Your Excellency and the entire Sambo family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss of such an amiable personality.”
