Jonathan mourns Dimgba Igwe

President Goodluck Jonathan has mourned the  death of  Vice Chairman of the Sun Newspapers, Mr Dimgba Igwe.

In a condolence message issued by his Media Adviser, Dr Reuben Abati, the President said Igwe will always be remembered as ” a hardworking and dependable professional, who, through his various writings as columnist, author and public speaker, demonstrated a special ability to convey the truth and his convictions in lucid, compelling prose, and in a style that was shorn of cant and foppery.”

He enjoined Igwe’s family, friends and associates to be consoled by the knowledge that he put his God-given abilities to the best possible use in a very purposeful life that was wholly devoted to the defence of truth and the public interest, as well as the promotion of the highest standards of his chosen profession of journalism.

President Jonathan prayed that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss of the very forthright journalist and media administrator.

Mr. Igwe was killed yesterday by a hit-and-run driver near his residence in the Okota area of Lagos State.
