I’ve Lost My 90-Year Old Mother, Eseme Writes To His Boss, Senate President, Akpabio

Eseme Eyiboh, Spokesperson to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has written to his boss announcing the death of his mother, Mrs. Grace Eyiboh, three days to her 90th birthday.
In the letter, which he submitted to Senator Akpabio today, July 5, Eseme Eyiboh said: “Your Lordship, I woke up in the early hours of today, Thursday July 4, to the affirmation of the disruptive and inevitable presence of death in our common humanity.
“Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death when a life has been lived in complete honesty, service and in the fear of God.

“The correct response to death’s punctuation mark is courage. Today, it is sufficiently manifest that, to die when a name is still well spoken is never death but a transfiguration.
“I pray to God to bless the spirit of my late mother – Deaconess Grace Sunday Eyiboh with the compass of His course.”
