The Late Danladi Etsu Zhin, served two terms as the chairman of the Kuje area council, and until his death the FCT PDP coordinator for Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign for the 2023 general election.
At the condolence visit, the minister described him as a political leader worthy of emulation, stressing that the former council boss lived an examplinary life.
While praying that God Almighty grant the immediate family the fortitude to bear this great loss, she assured that the late Zhin has rested in the bosom of the Lord in heaven.
The minister used the occasion to emphasise that death has no political bias, no religion, no tribe, no gender, adding that death is eminent to every living soul.
According to her; “on behalf of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, I am here to say we feel this pain with you, because our brother was a political leader worthy of emulation who lived an examplinary life.
“However, death has no political party, has no religion, has no tribe or gender. Death is eminent to every living soul, and we believe every soul shall test death when it’s time.”
“We are all gathered here today to commiserate with and tell you that we join you at this moment of grief and pray that God Almighty grant you all the fortitude to bear this great loss. No amount of sorry will bring him back, but I want you to know that no amount of tears will either.
“But we want you to know that at this moment what he desires from you and all of us is abundant prayers, prayers and prayers for a soul. He is well rested in the bosom of the Lord in heaven because that’s what every living soul prays for. May he make heaven. May the life he has touched here continue to remember him in prayers. May God grant all those he left behind, not only the fortitude to bear this great lost, but the grace to carry on”.
