President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on Saturday, said that Mrs Victoria Mimidoo Katsina-Alu was a good mother, philanthropist and dedicated Christian, just as he prayed God to grant the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu and his entire family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
President Jonathan, who made the remark at the funeral of Mrs Katsina-Alu, held at the Local Government Education Authority Primary School, Tse Alu near Lessel, Ushongo Local Government council area of Benue State, said Mimidoo played her role well but left when the ovation was loudest.
While lamenting the deceased’s tragic death, he recalled that whenever he asked after her from the CJN, he would respond that his wife had gone to their country home to carry out the work of evanglism, winning souls for Jesus Christ.
Stating that Jesus Christ died at a very young age, he declared that those who God loves don’t live long.
In his welcome address, the host governor, Dr Gabriel Suswam, appreciated the enormous demonstration of concern, love and solidarity shown by the president on the death of the wife of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, adding that words were not enough to express the deep grief in his heart.
Mimidoo, he maintained, had the qualities of a wonderful partner and amiable wife and provided the desired support, strength and succour which kept her husband going noting that her sudden and tragic departure was a monumental blow to the family, the people and government of Benue State and Nigerians in general.
