He said, "I want to appreciate the Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for this prompt action; I know that there is nothing any person can do to bring my wife back to life, but it remains to be stated for the records that I never knew that the governor of this state could send this magnitude of entourage that I am seeing today to visit my home.
