Lagos State Governor, Mr @jidesanwoolu has described the death of the Publisher of @LeadershipNGA newspapers, Sam Nda-Isaiah as painful, saying Nigeria has lost another patriotic and detribalised citizen.
Governor @jidesanwoolu commiserates with President Muhammadu Buhari, All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg) leadership, the immediate family of the deceased, his friends and associates as well as the media industry, where the late Nda-Isaiah was a major player.
In a statement signed on his behalf by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, on Saturday, Sanwo-Olu said the late publisher's eternal passage came at a time when Nigeria needed more of his knowledge and wealth of experience in different areas of endeavours.
The Governor added that the late Nda-Isaiah's @LeadershipNGA newspaper, which has been at the forefront of fighting for a better society had just honoured him along with some prominent Nigerians for modest contributions to humanity and was looking forward to attending the event.
He said: "Death is not what anybody has control over. It will come when it's time. It is painful that the late Nda-Isaiah left at a time when some of us were looking forward to the Leadership newspaper event."
"It is my prayer that God will grant him eternal rest and grant his family, friends and associates the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. He will be sorely missed."
The late Nda-Isaiah who trained as a pharmacist, was a renowned columnist, and one time presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He died yesterday at the age of 58.
