The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Monday led members of the Senate on a condolence visit to the family of their late colleague, Senator Barinada Mpigi, at his residence in Abuja.

Until his death last week at a London hospital, Senator Mpigi represented the people of Rivers South-East Senatorial District at the National Assembly.

Speaking during the visit, Akpabio described Mpigi’s death as a painful loss to the National Assembly and the nation, expressing deep sorrow over the passing of the former lawmaker.

He described the late senator as a dedicated public servant who made meaningful contributions to legislative development and nation-building.

“Senator Mpigi was committed to the welfare of his constituents. His passion for service and leadership will remain a lasting legacy and continue to inspire younger generations of leaders,” Akpabio said.

The Senate President urged the bereaved family to take comfort in the impactful life lived by their father, assuring them that the National Assembly shares in their grief.

He prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased’s soul and asked for divine strength for the family to bear the irreplaceable loss.
