Akpabio’s spokesman loses mum
Grace died three days before her 90th birthday.
Eseme Eyiboh, spokeswoman to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, lost his mother, Mrs. Grace Eyiboh, on Thursday.
Grace died three days before her 90th birthday.
Eyiboh announced this in a letter to inform the Senate president of the death on Friday.
“Your Lordship, I woke up in the early hours of today, Thursday, July 4, to the affirmation of the disruptive and inevitable presence of death in our common humanity.
“Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death when a life has been lived in complete honesty, service and in the fear of God.
“The correct response to death’s punctuation mark is courage Today, it is sufficiently manifest that to die when a name is still well spoken is never death but a transfiguration.
“I pray to God to bless the spirit of my late mother, Deaconess Grace Sunday Eyiboh, with the compass of His course,” Eyiboh stated.
