Rivers PDP Condoles Wike Over Uncle’s Demise

Rivers State leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has commiserated with Governor Nyesom Wike over the death of his uncle, Chief Charles Wike, saying it was saddened at the news of his demise.
The state PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah in a statement issued by his media aide, Jerry Needam in Port Harcourt, yesterday said the party was aggrieved the more, knowing the close relationship that existed between the governor and his late uncle.
The party said it was however, consoled because Governor Wike did all within his ability to give meaning to the strong bond between him and his uncle while he lived.
Obuah expressed the hope that Wike, being a strong believer in God, will see his uncle’s death as the will of his Creator and continue to carry out his official duties with the usual composure and emotional stability which he is known for.
The statement read in part: “While we whole-heartedly identify with His Excellency in his moment of grief as our leader and big brother, we also make bold to say that his well cherished uncle did not die in vain having contributed in raising one of the most courageous leaders, and defender of democracy Nigeria has ever had in the person of Governor Nyesom Wike.”
The State PDP also condoled with the Wike family, government and entire Rivers people, enjoining all to take solace in the good works and worthy legacies left behind by late Chief Charles Wike.
“May the good Lord grant the soul of the deceased peaceful rest; and to his numerous relations, the fortitude to bear the huge loss”, the statement added.
