The Federal Executive
Council, FEC, will on Wednesday hold a valedictory session in honour of the
late Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi.
This
was disclosed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina yesterday, while speaking with State House correspondents.
According
to Adesina, “You can feel the soberness in the atmosphere. Everybody believes
that this is a terrible tragedy. Mr. President paid glowing tribute to the
departed. Their relationship dated back to the CPC days to the role he played
in the APC merger.
“The
President just concluded that it is a tragedy of monumental proportion.
“The
late Ocholi will be given his dues. He was an active member of the Federal
Executive Council.
“I
recall that we shared laughter after the last meeting on some things that were
hilarious.
“So
you can be sure that on Wednesday, the council will pay him his due tribute.”
Ocholi, alongside his wife
and son had on Sunday lost their lives in an accident on Abuja-Kaduna road.
