President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday paid a condolence visit to the family of late former National Security Adviser, Gen. Andrew Azazi, at his Ikoyi, Lagos, residence. The President and his entourage were received by late Azazi’s wife, the children, grand children and some other members of the family.

Addressing the families on behalf of the President, the Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Mike Oghiadome, expressed the nation’s condolences and eulogised the departed general as a patriot and diligent officer.

“Azazi was indeed a great man, a diligent officer and patriot.

“The President had already organised a special Federal Executive Council (FEC) session in his honour and various council members had the opportunity to speak glowingly about him.

“They all had good words for him because he gave his best for the country.

“He rose by merit to become a 4-star general, and because the President had confidence in him, he was made the NSA.

“He was a good community man. He chaired the flood committee of his home state, the most affected state.

“He has played his role in his family, community and country, even internationally.

“We should take solace in the fact that he lived a good life. He has laid a good foundation for the family,” he said.

Respect is given to whom it is due.
Andrew Owoye Azazi was a fine general and deserves even more!

If the president was there in person, why did he need someone to speak on his behalf?
