Ighodalo also spoke over the phone with Emmanuel’s father, who lives in the Diaspora.
He wished the father God’s comfort as the family navigates the very difficult time.
The PDP’s candidate who noted that no words can adequately express the pain of losing a loved one, offered words of solace and prayed with the family, seeking God’s divine strength for them in their mourning.
Ighodalo also had a moment with Emmanuel’s elder sister, who had been with her brother at the hospital the night before he passed away.
