He further reminded the senate president that losing a paramount aide like Ogbonna could be really overwhelming, but added that no man has the power to challenge the will of the Almighty God . He explained that as God gives power to who He wishes, so also is death that could come to anybody anytime unchallenged. He said that the death of Azuipke is not a setback just for the senate president alone, but a national one.
