Dickson mourns, asks politicians to emulate Ciroma
By Pat PA Okon
The Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson
has commiserated with the people and Government of Yobe State over the death of
the former Finance Minister and Elder Statesman, Mallam Adamu Ciroma who died
in Abuja at the age of 84.
The Governor in a statement signed by his Chief Press
Secretary, Francis Ottah Agbo, described
Ciroma as “a rare patriot and nation builder who passed on when his counsel and
selfless service were most needed.”
While describing the demise of the Elder Statesman as an
irreparable loss to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigeria in general,
Dickson called on Nigerian politicians to “emulate the selfless life of Mallam
Ciroma.”
The Governor also prayed God to grant Ciroma eternal repose
of his soul as well as grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
He said: “We have lost a rare patriot and a nation builder.
Mallam Adamu Ciroma passed on when his selfless services and wise counsel were
most needed. He has played his part in life very well. In and out of public
service, he was a true Nigerian who
rendered selfless service to fatherland.
I urge Nigerian politicians to emulate his life of Service. I pray God
to grant his family, friends and
associates the fortitude to bear what is
clearly an irreparable loss".
