The Senate has commiserated with one of its members, Senator Gilbert Nnaji (Enugu East, PDP) who yesterday lost his wife, Mrs. Ann Nnaji.
 
The Senate earlier this year lost a popular member, Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke - a two time Nigerian senator (Osun West) who represented the People's Democratic Party in Osun State from 2007 to 2011 and was elected again under the banner of the All Progressives Congress in 2015.
 
In a statement by its Spokesman, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, the Senate expressed sadness over the death of Mrs Nnaji who was a pillar of support and a prayer warrior “always standing solidly behind her husband”.
 
“On behalf of the entire Senate, we commiserate with our brother and colleague, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Communications, Senator Gilbert Nnaji on the loss of his dear wife, Mrs. Ann Nnaji.  Mrs. Nnaji was a gentle person and a pillar of support to her husband. She was a devoted wife, mother and a public spirited woman.

"On this sad occasion, we mourn with the entire Nnaji family, the good people of Enugu East Senatorial District in particular, and Enugu State in general. We also pray that Almighty God will grant them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”, the Senate stated.
