THE Honourable Commissioner for Arts, Culture, Tourism and Diaspora Affairs, Dr Uyi – Oduwa MALAKA, expresses her deep condolence to Mr Mustapha of Sobe Community, in Owan West LGA, over the sad loss of his only son, Haruna, during the tragic rainstorm that hit the Community last night.
Reacting to the painful news, Hon Dr Malaka said: ” I will encourage you, Mr Mustapha, to be strong at this your trying moment of life, and accept the sad loss as the Will of God”. She added that we may not always know God’s ways. ” The rest of the family need you now, more than ever before. So, please be strong for them as well as for yourself.I deeply empathise with the delicate little daughter left to you by God, and pray that God will give you the fortitude to weather this storm.” She concluded.
The Hon Commissioner also thanked kind Sobe neighbours, who responded to the loud bangs that accompanied the fallen wall that killed Haruna. She then called on all Owan West people to continue to be our brother’s keeper.
Rainstorms and downpours have lately become challenging the world over; it is threatening homes and livelihoods. We must continue to find ways to curtail mother nature for our collective welfare.
Dr Uyi Oduwa-Malaka,
Hon. Commissioner for Arts, Culture, Tourism and Diaspora Affairs.
