Those were the words of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, on Saturday when he paid a condolence visit to the family of late Inspector Ali Gomina and the entire Gui community in the Abuja Municipal Area Council.
Prof. Osinbajo arrived the community at about 3.45 pm accompanied by aides and was received by the Chief of the village, Alhaji Alhassan Yussuf and other leaders of the community.
After prayers by the Imam of Gui community mosque, Abubakar Jibril and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor in the community, Pastor Adegbe Julius, the Vice President spent time interacting with the family especially the widow of the deceased, Asiya Ali Gomina and his first son, Ali Kabiru Gomina, expressing his condolence and encouraging them.
Addressing the chief of the village and others shortly after interacting with the family, Prof. Osinbajo said “We all loved him. He served very dutifully and diligently. We are all very sad when this happened. It is terrible. We were all there and saw it happen and we are very pained by it. This is the reason we have all come, to commiserate with the family and the community.”
Assuring the family and the community of government’s support to both the immediate family of the late officer and the community in general, the Vice President said “I am here today myself to see his children, and see what we can do to help the family, and in his honour, what we can do to help his community.”
Prof. Osinbajo then prayed “God will help and sustain his family, we pray that all will be well with his family and community.
“We will also see what we can do to assist the community in whatever way. God bless you, well done.”
Late Inspector Ali Gomina, aged 45, one of the police escort riders in the Office of the Vice President, was killed in a road accident while on official duty on Friday 13th March 2020.
Gomina died after a runaway Toyota Camry car ran into him, knocking him and throwing him down against a moving tanker way ahead of the convoy on the expressway to the airport in Abuja.
The manner with which these politicians speed of on convoy, you will think they are being chased. Some things are truly affordable in life.
ReplyDelete*avoidable*
DeleteNot just the politicians but their pilots who speeds like they hung another life at home that at any slightest mistake they will go and carry the other life.
DeleteAccording to the VP, so we need somebody to die in our community that is working with the government before the government can do something for our various communities? Ha,na wah o.
PS- Osibanjo needs some serious prayers because this threat to life is getting too much on him.

Teejaay, did you make this comment based on what you read of a generalised observation? Because the narration was that he was killed by a runaway Camry that tossed him to another truck. Its wasn't that he lost control and run into another vehicle ooooo.
DeleteThe reason Teejay commented was because it was the VP if it was a pop man he would come up with another reason ...The VP did well
DeleteThis man needs to go for deliverance. Like evil just surrounds him.
ReplyDeleteYes he sorrounded by evil but he dwells in the shadow of the Almighty! No harm will befall him in Jesus Name Amen
DeleteAmen

ReplyDeleteRip to him.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmnnnnmmmnmmn
ReplyDeleteits a pity but God knows best
May the VP never pay me and my family a condolence visit in Jesus Name Amen š
ReplyDeleteI don't pity any such one, especially in Nigeria, Africa. This is because they get so carried away with the thrill of serving in a convoy that they forget to GUARD THEIR OWN LIVES FIRST before guarding whoever. You need to see their display of stupidity while thinking they are 'James Bond' and I keep asking, are they not trained before enlisting in the convoy team? And most times, such accidents steam from carelessness. Now there is an orphan, widow and bereaved family.
ReplyDeleteOrphan ke? Are you planning to kill the late man's wife also?
DeleteDid you read this man was killed from his recklessness? A car knocked him down my friend.
