The National Chairman of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, Amb. Godknows Boladei Igali, OON, has condoled with the Alinnor Family of Umuokwara Abba, Nwangele LGA, Imo State, over the demise of Mrs. Benedicta Ugochi Alinnor at the age of 93.
In his letter of condolence, the distinguished diplomat, former Permanent Secretary and renowned historian said, “The news of the passing to glory of your dearly beloved mother, Mrs. Benedicta Ugochi Alinnor came to my family and I with total shock and grief. This indeed is most devastating, as the Alinnor Family has lost a matriarch and virtuous woman at a time when she is needed the most. Although we mourn, but we hold strong belief that the Almighty God knows the best, and we glorify His exalted name”.
“Without doubt, she was a woman of exceptional character, good works and humility. Wherever she found herself, the great virtues of humility, selflessness and Godliness endeared to her unimaginable respect from her peers. She touched many lives and raised giant generations of patriotic Nigerians. She has served Christ with her life, showing a good example of the life of honour to her children and all others who she encountered.”
“I pray that the legacy, which she has left behind in her 93 lofty years in service to God and humanity, will go on with your entire family and community. May God specially comfort and strengthen your family at this time. For the Bible says, “to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8)”.
“Please convey my deepest condolences to the entire Alinnor family. May her soul find eternal rest in the bosom of the Lord!” Amb Godknows Igali concluded.
