According to a press release signed by the Chairman Comrade Michael Ikeogwu and Secretary Comrade Patrick Ochei on 5th September, 2023, "We feel the pain that the First Lady is going through to have lost a dear loved one; because it is not the desire of anyone to lose a loved one, most especially, a mother."
"We ask that you be strong and cheer up, as it is the duty of children to bury their parents and not the other way round."
"As a Union, we condole with you and your family over this irreplaceable loss. It is our prayer that God gives you the strength and comfort you deserve at this moment of vacuum."
"Kindly accept our deep condolences as you begin to prepare for the final journey home of your dear mother. May her lovely soul rest in the bosom of God. Amen."
