Delta Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, yesterday, urged Nigerians to emulate the late Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Samuel Oseji’s virtues of humility, simplicity and hard work in order to make the Nigeria a better place.
Okowa made the call at the funeral service held in honour of the late jurist at Idumuje-Unor, in Aniocha North LGA.
He noted that Oseji, who died at the age of 67, was a noble man, a man of integrity and a man that loved all, saying that if Nigerians could imitate him, lives of citizens and the nation could be much better.
He remarked that the late jurist was a man full of wisdom, adding the deceased drew strength from God as he surrendered his life to Him during his lifetime.
According to him, the late sexagenarian judicial officer never believed that he could do anything without God, and God was always with him even as He (God) is with him today.
Earlier in his homily, Bishop Wale Ajayi of Church of God Mission International said that the late Justice Samuel Oseji slept in Jesus Christ because, he put his faith and confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ajayi said the late Justice Oseji was a devout Christian who put his total faith and confidence in Jesus Christ, adding that the deceased jurist vehemently believed that Christ died for him, that Christ rose from death and that Christ will come again.
In his remarks during the ceremony, son of the deceased legal icon, Mr. Samuel Oseji (Jnr.), expressed appreciation to Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa for the immeasurable love he had shown to the family, and thanked Justices of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal as well as other members of the legal profession for being with them in their moment of grief.
Shortly after the funeral service, the remains of the erudite jurist were taken to his home for interment.
