Former governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has commiserated with the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, over the death of his son and grandson.
Daily Intel Newspaper reported that the senator, who represents Benue South senatorial district, lost his son Victor Moro, to a road accident, 48 hours after the death of his grand son.
In a condolence message signed by his media aide, Terver Akase on Monday, Mr Ortom described the incident as a heartbreaking double tragedy that words can hardly express.
He noted that the pain of losing two family members in such quick succession was beyond comprehension.
“that the death of Victor Moro, a young man full of promise who had just completed his studies in Turkey and returned home to serve his country under the National Youth Service Corps, only for his life to be cut short in a fatal motor accident is especially devastating.”
Ortom further stated that, “This is indeed a moment of deep pain and sorrow for my brother and friend, Senator Abba Moro. No words are enough to console a father in this kind of situation.
“My heart goes out to him and the entire family. I pray that God, in His infinite mercy, will comfort them and grant the souls of the departed eternal rest.”
He further prayed that the almighty God strengthen Moro and his loved ones, granting them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
