The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma has commiserated with the former Governor of Abia State and Senate’s Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, over the sudden death of his wife, Her Excellency, Mrs Ifeoma Ada Kalu, describing the loss as huge.
Uzodinma in a statement by his Chief Press secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, said he received the news of Mrs Kalu’s passing at 61 with deep shock and sadness, regretting that the family, friends, Abia State and the society at large have lost a warm, kind-hearted, God-loving and God-fearing woman and mother.
The Governor recalled that as First Lady of Abia State, the deceased did a lot in the service of the downtrodden, the women, the children, the physically challenged and generally, humanity and God.
He urged Senator Kalu and his family to be consoled by the fact that the deceased positively impacted society while alive and that her good works will forever speak for her.
On behalf of his family, the government and the people of Imo State, Governor Uzodinma prayed for God’s grace of fortitude upon the Kalus and upon all those the deceased has left behind to mourn her passing, to bear the huge loss.
More importantly, Governor Uzodinma advised them to continue to pray for the repose of her soul, with the assurance that she is already resting peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.
