Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has described the death, today, Tuesday, of Chief David Ogaba Attah, former Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, as a huge loss to the nation and the media industry.
In a condolence message to Attah’s family, Adesina recognized Chief Attah’s distinguished service to the nation as a journalist, politician and opinion leader.
The Presidential Spokesman noted that the Benue-born veteran journalist did not only carve a niche for himself in the course of his journalism career but was a strong voice in the nation’s political terrain during his stint in the House of Representatives in the Second Republic.
Adesina said that late David Attah, who held a traditional title of the Ondoma of Idomaland, will be long remembered for his candid views, measured and mature contributions to national discourse.
He enjoined media professionals and colleagues to draw inspiration from the career of Chief Attah, while urging the family of the departed to take solace in the knowledge that their father lived a fulfilled life. [myad]
