The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, Mr. Peter Obi, has sent his condolences to world acclaimed writer, Chimamanda Adichie and her husband, Ivara, on the painful death of one of their precious twins, Nkanu.
In a social media post he entitled “With Deepest Sympathy on the Loss of Nkanu”, Obi, a two-term former governor of Anambra State said:
“I have been following Nkanu’s illness since my beloved sister, Chimamanda, first informed me on January 2nd. During this difficult time, I felt a deep sense of empathy for her and her family. I shared in their anxiety, prayed earnestly, and hoped for his recovery. Therefore, the news I received yesterday morning was profoundly heartbreaking.
I am personally devastated, thinking of the immense pain my dear sister must be experiencing as a mother, along with her husband, Dr Ivara. My heartfelt condolences go to them and the entire family during this moment of indescribable loss. May God grant them the strength, comfort, and grace to bear this sorrow, and may Nkanu’s saintly soul rest in perfect peace.”
Condolence messages, expectedly, have been pouring in for the family and from different quarters.
