Jonathan mourns ex-Plateau dep gov.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday mourned the passage of a former. Plateau State Deputy Governor, Chief Michael Botmang, and Mrs. Mary. Onma-Adakole, a younger state of the President of the Senate, David Mark.


Jonathan’s condolence messages to the two bereaved families and their state governments were contained in a statement made available to journalists by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.
In commiserating with Governor Jonah Jang and the people of Plateau State on Botmang’s death, Jonathan prayed that God would receive the deceased’s soul and grant him peace in eternity.

He noted that Botmang, who served as Plateau State Governor between November, 2006 and April 2007 will be greatly missed by his family, friends, political associates and supporters.
Jonathan’s condolence message to Mark, according to Abati, was conveyed in a letter he wrote to the bereaved President of the Senate.

The President wrote, “It is with great sadness that I write to express my heartfelt condolences to you, the Adakole John family, and the entire members of the Mark family of Oturkpo on the untimely death of your dear younger sister, Mary Onma in the prime of her life.
“My heart especially goes out to you in your moment of grief considering the unfortunate circumstance of her passing.

“I pray that Almighty God grants you and all whom she has left behind the fortitude to cope with the pain of this irredeemable loss.
“May her soul find eternal rest in the bosom of the Almighty.”
