National SWAN condoles Ado Salisu over mother’s death
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) on Monday condoled with its Acting President, Ado Salisu, on the death of his mother last week.
In a condolence message issued on Monday in Abuja, Mike Oboh, the SWAN Secretary-General, said the entire family of sports writers across the country were with Salisu at this moment of grief.
Salisu’s mother had died on September 8 in Kano.
“The loss of the mother of our Acting National President was indeed a loss to all of us in SWAN, because she was a woman of virtue whose product we see in Ado.
“She was a woman who strived to leave a mark and did her best. But we can only be grateful to God, as we have no control over when and who die.
“We can only console our brother, friend and colleague to take heart and take solace in the fact that she has only returned to her creator,’’ Oboh said.
He then prayed God to grant repose to the soul of the dead, and give those she left behind the fortitude to bear the loss.
