A son of former Senate President, late Chuba Okadigbo, has died in a motor accident in Abuja.
Pharoah Okadigbo died on Sunday in the accident at about 3am on his way to Gwarinpa estate from the city centre. He crashed into an articulated vehicle.
In his condolence message, President Muhammadu Buhari commiserated with the Okadigbo family.
“It is very sad to lose such a promising young man with so much potentials and passion for youth involvement in the socio-political development of Nigeria,” Buhari was quoted as saying in a statement by his spokesman Femi Adesina.
“The President notes that the late Pharaoh at an early age keyed into the vision of a better Nigeria not just for the privileged but for all and sundry, which he (the President) shared with the late Chuba, who was his running mate in the 2003 presidential election.
“President Buhari adds that the nation will miss a firm believer in the necessity for the people to work in collaboration with governments at all levels to achieve the better society we all wish for.
“He prays that God Almighty will comfort family, friends and associates, and repose the soul of the departed,” the statement added.
