Former Senate Leader Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba SAN CON has informed the Catholic Bishop of Ogoja diocese, overseeing the Parish in Akparabong, Ikom local government in Cross River State that his wish, whenever he dies is to be buried beside his wife, late Amaka Lauretta Ndoma-Egba.
Ndoma-Egba, former Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, made the wish at the interment service held at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Parish in Akparabong, Ikom before the body of the late wife was interred in a mausoleum within the premises of the Church.
He praised his late wife as a woman who was beautiful physically and at heart. “She was devoted to service to humanity and she did not only established public infrastructures such as schools and the Catholic parish where she was buried. She developed many individuals. No one comes to our house as a none graduate and leaves without being a graduate”.
He noted that many sorrowful things have happened to him this year and people have asked God why. ” I can’t question God because He has blessed me many times in a year and he never questioned why the many blessings. I am grateful for that Amaka, though lived a short life but it was a fulfilled life.”
He thanked the Catholic Bishop for the approval given for the wife to be buried in the church premises adding that the implication is that he must be buried beside his late wife anytime he is dead.
In a sermon, the Bishop of Ogoja Diocese, Rev. Fr. Dr. Donatus Akpan, stated that many times, great people usually die young just as Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, and several other great people had died.
“No one can escape death. Some would say why wouldn’t she had live longer than died”.
He described late Amaka as a peaceful individual who treated people with honour and showed no disdain to people who go close to her
