The
National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
commiserated with former Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, Chief Tony
Anenih, on the death of his wife and son.
In a
condolence message by Mr Dayo Adeyeye, National Publicity Secretary of the
committee, on Tuesday in Abuja, the party said it was heart-breaking for a man
to lose wife and son with short intervals.
Mrs
Patricia Anenih passed on at 74 in London on April 16.
Anenih’s
son, Mr Eugene Anenih, died on Sunday at the age of 51. Both are yet to be
buried.
According
to the statement, the party identifies with Anenih’s agony at this trying
period.
It
said, “your wife’s untiring support in an extremely busy and action packed
political career cannot be overemphasized. Her departure must have left you
with so much sorrow.
“We
believe in your capacity to overcome these painful losses. May the Lord grant
you and your family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
“We pray
that you will not sorrow again in the remaining days of your life. May the
souls of the departed rest with the Lord in perfect peace.”
