The governor in a statement by his spokesman, Nathaniel Ikyur, in Makurdi, noted that the wife of the deceased was a key support to her husband right from their early beginning as a couple when they shared many thoughts about the development of Nigeria and would be greatly missed.
Ortom while condoling the family, government and people of Cross River State, prayed that God would comfort them at all times and give them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
He also prayed that the family and indeed all Nigerians should take solace in the fact that Mary and her husband lived an accomplished life worthy of emulation by all.
