My sister’s death an eternal pain – Dokubo

The Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Prof. Charles Dokubo says the death of his elder sister, Madam Amaro Roseline Dokubo, has caused him an eternal pain.

Dokubo, according to a statement yesterday by his spokesman, Murphy Ganagana, was lamenting on Saturday at his sister’s funeral ceremony in Abonnema, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.

“Sister Ama, I know you are at peace where you are and there’s no need for tears. I know how much tears I shed on the day of your death when I received the phone call that you had passed on. As I stood motionless in my office, consumed with grief, the tears kept rolling, giving me a feeling of emptiness of heart. I realized that a pain has come that’ll never go away and I must own that you’ve gone forever.

“For me, your younger brother, you always shared in my joys, sorrows, laughter, tears and successes; an inspiration from my tender age to my adulthood, up to the time you departed,” Dokubo said.
