Late Pa Adamu Aduku. |
Gov.
Yahaya Bello has extolled the virtues of the Country’s oldest military survival
of the Second World War, Pa Adamu Aduku, who passed on at the fulfilled age of
101.
The
late Pa Aduku, the World War II veteran, who hailed from Abejukolo- Ife in
Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, died on Tuesday at the age of 101.
The
governor, in his condolence message made available to Newsmen in Lokoja by his
Chief Press Secretary, Onogwu Muhammed, said Aduku was a true patriot who gave
his service to the fatherland and was blessed by God to witness its blossoming.
Bello
stressed that the late war veteran, died a fulfilled man and remained a worthy
ambassador of the Confluence State.
The
governor affirmed that such was the spirit, passion, zest of the people of the
confluence state in their numerous endeavors and life’s occupation as they
often seek to stand out.
He
commended the Federal Government and the Nigeria military for recently
honouring the late Aduku, while he was still alive and not posthumously.
The
governor condoled with the family and the loved ones of the late icon, noting
that his death should not be mourning but rather a celebration of a life of
sacrifice well lived.
He
similarly condoled with the people of the state and particularly Omala Local
Government in Kogi East over the glorious exit of the worthy son of the land
who brought his people and locality to limelight.
While
praying for Pa Aduku's eternal rest, Bello noted that the late Aduku would,
alongside those who had rendered services to the fatherland be forever
remembered in the history of our dear country.
