President Buhari reacts as 2 members of his support group walk to death

President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the death of two members of the Coalition of Buhari/Osinbajo Movement, COBOM.

In a statement on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari sent heartfelt condolences to the coalition, “on the loss of two very committed members.”

The statement described “Mr Akan Ebenezer and Chief Charles Azubuike Nwora Ojukwu,” as “two dyed-in-the-wool ‘Buharists.”

They reportedly passed on recently after protracted illnesses.

The statement added that “the two remained passionate about the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket, even right from their hospital beds.”

Buhari described this as “inspiring and very touching.”

The President prayed that God will rest their souls, comfort their families, and all those that mourn them.

“Akan Ebenezer was the Deputy Publicity Secretary of COBOM, who also ran a vibrant and pulsating social media campaign in support of the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket, despite suffering from a terminal disease. He remained faithful unto death.

“Chief Nwora Ojukwu, 69, belonged to COBOM and Buhari Hangout (BHO), where he campaigned vigorously, and virtually poured out his soul till victory was attained,” the statement explained.

Akan Ebenezer will be buried at Efa, in Etinan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on June 28, 2019, while Chief Ojukwu will be buried same day at Oba, in Anambra State.
