“Your Excellency, it is indeed a traumatic, harrowing and trying times, but I urge you, the children, and indeed the people of Akwa Ibom State to rather treasure her beautiful, Impactful and success-filled life; take consolation in the fact that she lived her life for the good of others and most importantly in the service of God.
“From all records, she exuded excellence as “Odozi Aku” and even in death her records stand tall.
