In the hitherto enviable and exotic world of former minister of Aviation, Senator Stella Oduah, the sky is no longer a silvery and opalescent delight; it is now pitch black and brackish. And sadly, it would take almost forever for things to return to normalcy for her. Yesterday, Friday, her son died after a brief Illness. It was a devastating and distasteful death that has plunged the entire Oduah clan into a pall of gloom.
Everybody with the Oduah suffix, friends, associates, and relatives of Stella particularly, has been unanimous in their grief. If Stella had one chance to make a wish, she would probably wish the death of her son was a mere nightmare. Watching her bemoan her fate, you could feel and touch her grief and like someone who has signed out on laughter, the sounds and melody of tumbrels and harps, for her, have stopped making any meaning for now.
One of Oduah’s colleagues, Senator Uche Ekwunife, who represents Anambra Central in the Senate, also confirmed the incident to one of our correspondents, saying she had been with Oduah to console her just like few other senators who heard about the “unfortunate situation.”
Ekwunife said, “It is very unfortunate. It has shown that death and life belong to God and it is only Him who controls our life. It is a trying moment for her and all of us. I know how it feels as a mother. It is only God who can console her.”
Meanwhile, some well-wishers took to her twitter page, @Stellaoduah, to condole with her.
