Alenkhe urged the family of the former governor to take solace in the fact that the Late mother of the former governor led a fulfilled life.
He recalled with nostalgia her life and times when her son held sway as governor of the state and therefore prayed God Almighty for the repose of her soul.
He also prayed God to grant the children and members of the bereaved family the fortitude to bear the loss.
