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 6 March, 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.
