Former Nigeria’s President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has called on Nigerians to always see themselves as agents of unity as the country navigates the security challenges troubling it.
Obasanjo made the call at the Family Worship Centre, Abuja, during the funeral service for Mrs Jennifer Etuh, wife of Mr Thomas Etuh, Chairman, Fertiliser Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria.
“It doesn’t matter how old we are here, Jennifer has become our senior and paying last respect to her has shown that even in death, we also give thanks to God.“I have seen people I will meet in the Mosque here and I have also seen people I will meet in the Church here and what can be unifying than this.Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, had earlier at the service of songs described Jennifer as “a true child of God” whose death had become a very special moment in history.
“There is no way to inherit that kingdom without death and this is why the Bible says that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; so there must be death before the inheritance of the kingdom.Also paying tribute, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, said Jennifer’s demise had gone a long way to show that a worthy life was the greatest legacy any individual could leave for those alive.
“Not only will she be proud of you , I believe that every single person sitting in this auditorium is proud of you. “Sometimes it is not how long one lived that matters but how well he or she lived; your mother Jennifer has lived well.”
