Uzodimma mourns Awofeso, Galaxy TV Imo Correspondent
Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma says he is in pains over the death of Galaxy TV Imo Correspondent, Ajibade Awofeso.
Uzodimma in a statement signed by his Special Adviser (Media), Oguwike Nwachuku said the news of Awofeso’s death came to him as a rude shock.
In the words of the governor…”I have received with rude shock the reported sudden death, weekend in Lagos, of the Galaxy Television Correspondent in Imo State, Mr. Ajibade Awofeso.
The news of his unexpected passing is not only hurting but devastating.”
”The late Ajibade did not just die in his prime at 40, but left behind an equally young family of four, excluding the wife, the aged mother and other dependants.
He was a hardworking, committed, dutiful and God fearing journalist who plied his trade responsibly, ensuring that he did not compromise on the ethics of the media profession he belonged to.
My sincere condolences go to the young family, mainly Ajibade’s distraught wife and aged mother at this challenging time in their lives.
On behalf of my family, the government and good people of Imo State, I commiserate with the Awofeso and Nwaiwu families, the media community, particularly the Imo State Correspondent Chapel and the Nigerian Union of Journalists, and all friends and associates of Ajibade, over this huge loss.
It is my prayer that God Almighty grants his soul eternal rest. Amen.”
