My heart is heavy, my eye full of tears, spirit down, morale low as I mourn a father-figure in my life.
My Editor, my guide, my benefactor who believed so much in me in my profession, Dr Leon Habue Usigbe, is gone.
I can’t believe you are gone. Your smiles, gentle demeanor and kind heart will forever be etched in my memory.
You gave me wings to fly, you ‘pampered’ and have confidence in me. For this, I will be eternally grateful.
I pray that Almighty Allah in His infinite mercies grant you the highest of Paradise and uphold your loving family.
Adieu.
