Comrade Benedict Oshiorenoya Inaede, Edo state secretary of the Obidient Movement, has died.
Inaede’s death sparked tributes across social media. Obi, the NDC’s 2027 presidential candidate, wrote:
“I have just received the sad news of the death of one of our Obidient family members from Edo State, Comrade Benedict Inaede.
“On behalf of my family and the Obidient Movement family, I sincerely condole with his immediate family and the entire Obidient family. His death is a painful and irreplaceable loss to us all.
“May Almighty God, who has called him home, grant him eternal rest and grant his family and all of us the fortitude to bear this profound loss.
“May we continue to remember his family in prayers for God Almighty’s continued blessings.”
Obi also mourned another loss: Zamani Tanko, a longtime aide to Senator Seriake Dickson. The presidential hopeful said Tanko served Dickson with loyalty for more than 15 years and visited the senator to share his grief. He wrote:
“It is with deep sorrow that I learned last night of the passing of DSP Zamani Tanko (Rtd), who was a faithful aide to my dear brother and our Party Leader Senator Henry Seriake Dickson for over 15 years.
“This morning, I visited Senator Dickson to share in his grief and that of his entire team. DSP Zamani served with loyalty and dedication, and his loss will be felt by all who knew him.”
Obi added:
“On behalf of myself and my family, I extend heartfelt condolences to Senator Dickson, DSP Zamani’s family, and everyone touched by his life.
“May God Almighty who called him home grant him eternal rest in His kingdom; and continue to bless his family always.”
And just to add a twist: prophetess Bright Ndibunwa (Brighttheseer) had earlier warned Obi of a possible road accident and a related fire disaster.
