The pain of his loss is still so raw, but today, I choose to remember the man who was more than a brother and friend to me. Herbert’s wisdom, vision, and unwavering belief in Nigeria remain etched in our hearts.
He continues: “We miss you deeply, my brother. He was not just a leader; he was a beacon of hope and a visionary inspiring many. We honor his legacy of progress, integrity, and love for our country. As we remember Herbert today, let us celebrate the incredible life he lived. Rest in peace, my dear brother. Your spirit lives on in every heart you touched.”
