| This is Yakowa's last outing.... |
Amina, widow of the late Patrick Yakowa, amid sobs narrated how her husband left the house on Saturday without the usual ‘prayer of agreement’:
Recall that Governor Yakowa; ex-National Security Adviser, Gen. Andrew Azazi , and four others died when a Naval Augusta 109 Helicopter in which they were travelling crashed in Nembe-Okoroba in Bayelsa State.
They were returning from the burial of Pa Douglas, the father of an aide to Jonathan, Oronto Douglas.
“Everyday, we normally hold our hands to pray before he steps out of the house to the office. But on Saturday, when he told me he was leaving for Bayelsa State. I just bid him farewell and we said we would meet in Abuja for the thanksgiving ceremony of President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience. I regret that we could not pray as usual. After that he came down and left for Bayelsa.
“We used to wake up every morning to pray. Before yesterday (Saturday), he used to insist that we pray before he would step out of the house for any engagement. On December 23, we would have celebrated our 34th year of marriage but for death.”She told the congregation at a Church Service organised for the late governor inside the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House that her worst regret was not praying with her late husband.
