The National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has commiserated with former Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, over the death of his wife and son.
In a condolence message by Dayo Adeyeye, National Publicity Secretary of the committee, the party said it was heart-breaking for a man to lose wife and son within short intervals.
Patricia Anenih passed away at 74 in London on 16 April, while Eugene died on Sunday at the age of 51. Both have yet to be buried.
The statement reads: ”your wife’s untiring support in an extremely busy and action packed political career cannot be overemphasized. Her departure must have left you with so much sorrow.
”We believe in your capacity to overcome these painful losses. May the Lord grant you and your family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
”We pray that you will not sorrow again in the remaining days of your life. May the souls of the departed rest with the Lord in perfect peace.”
