The Presidency on Monday appealed
to Nigerians to stop politicising the death of the daughter of the Afenifere
leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
Mrs Funke Olakunri was killed
recently around Ore area of Ondo State, with people fingering herdsmen as
having carried out the dastard attack.
A statement issued on Monday by
Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity),
said the Presidency has noted public concerns on the unfortunate attack leading
to the death of daughter of the Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
“The President has already issued
a statement expressing his heartfelt condolences to the family of Mrs Funke
Olakunri and followed up with a telephone call. The Vice President, Professor
Yemi Osinbajo has in addition, paid a visit to the grieving family in Akure, Ondo
State.
“Her death is a tragedy. Our
thoughts and prayers are with her family. It is incumbent on all leaders across
the country to consider their language and its potential consequences.
Insecurity is an issue that Nigeria must face together as one nation – united.
“Times of tragedy like these are
not the time for politics. It reveals only disrespect for the departed and her
family. And we hope that those who stand in positions of influence recognise
and understand this.”
