Jonathan visits late Kure’s family

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday in Minna described the death of former Governor of Niger State, Malam Abdulkadir Kure, as great loss and shocking.
The former President, while extolling the virtues of the late Kure at the family residence, said, “it is a very sad moment for us”.
“There are burials and there are burials, there are deaths and there are deaths. One day, all of of us that are mortal beings will surely leave the earth.
“He left us at a very young age and at a time the ovation is about to be loudest. Within a short lifespan, he has impacted the society significantly,” Jonathan said.
He said the PDP would miss Kure greatly, saying that in PDP, he was one of the pillars of the party and also a member of the Board of Trustees.
“That is why almost all our members in the country were around during the burial,” the former President said.
Jonathan further prayed the Almighty God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Among those in his entourage are former Minister of the FCT, Alhaji Bala Mohammed, former Minister of Special Duties, Malam Kabiru Tanimu Turaki and former Minister of Aviation, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode.
Others were former leader, House of Representatives, Mrs Mulikat Akande, and former Minister of State (Finance), Malam Bashir Yuguda.
The former President also visited the Emir of Minna, Alhaji Farouk Bahago, at his palace to express sympathy on the loss.
