Read the press statement from the Presidency
below...
President Buhari has expressed shock and sadness at the death of
Barrister James Ocholi (SAN), who together with his wife and son were
killed in a car crash in Abuja on March 6, 2016. President Buhari
described the Minister of State for Labour's death as untimely,
regretting that Nigeria has lost a key component of the Change agenda.
"Barrister Ocholi was an accomplished and patriotic Nigerian, who was
keen to accept the call to service at a time his country needed him,"
President Buhari said, adding that in the few months he had been in
office, the late minister of state had already begun to distinguish
himself through his commitment and dedication to his portfolio.
The late Ocholi has had a long record of political association with
President Buhari.
President Buhari also consoled with the government and people of Kogi
State, whom he described as having lost a distinguished and
irreplaceable son. He prayed that God would comfort them and grant them
the grace to bear the loss.
"The entire country mourns the loss of this great man, who has sadly
left us when we need him most," he said.
President Buhari has also sent the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Engineer David Babachir to formally convey the news to
members of the deceased family as well as parishioners in his place of
worship.
