He added that the union received the news of the Senator Aduda’s father with great shock, even as he described the late clergy as a man of God who lived his life in the service of God and mankind.
“The life that Baba lived here on earth, for us, was a devine call of God. For us, we believe that he completed his devine assignment here on earth. And for us, we believe that his departure was the decision of God,” he said.
He urged Aduda’s family to understand the dealing of God in the life of the late clergy, since he was created by God for an assignment of a period of time where the deceased completed the assignment and was later called by God.
“Senator Aduda’s family must be comforted as one day, we are going to live and stay with him forever. As the place Baba has gone to is the best as designed by God, as the family must understand the dealing of God in the life of Baba has gone to be with God, ” he said.
He further said that late clergy died as a christian and man of God, saying the legacies left behind by him will never be forgotten.
The NUT chairman, further appreciated the Senator Aduda, and entire family members, saying Baba was a good man like Senator Aduda, which he said is known to be doing good to the people of the FCT.
“His service to God and humanity too cannot be forgotten. We just want him to use this opportunity to look on to God, who will fill the gap that has been created by the departure of Baba,” he added.
He, therefore, prayed for the soul of the late clergy to rest in peace and also prayed for God to give entire Aduda’s family to bear the irreparable lost.
