President Muhammadu Buhari maintained that the late Minister of State for Labour and Employment, James Ocholi, was committed and loyal to Nigeria.
The minister, who died in a car crash with his wife and one of his sons on Kaduna-Abuja road, will be buried in Kogi State today.
Buhari, in a tribute yesterday, said he would always remember Ocholi for his loyalty to Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his administration.
According to him, Ocholi was part of the Change Cabinet determined to bring Nigeria out of the woods and place it among the greats in the comity of nations.
The President declared that Ocholi would be “sorely missed”.
