Current report from the nation newspaper also reveal that president Goodluck Jonathan has extended condolence to the wife, children and the entire family of Admiral Mike Akhigbe who has diligently served the country during his tenure as a Vice President to Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar.

Report says:

Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar,

Jonathan, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, also commiserated with officers and men of the Nigerian Navy, the government and people of his home state, Edo, on the demise.

Describing him as a very courageous officer who patriotically served the nation to the best of his God-given abilities in the Nigerian Armed Forces, President Jonathan joined Vice Admiral Akhigbe’s family, colleagues and subordinates in the Nigerian Navy, friends, associates and all who knew him in mourning the former CGS.

Even in his death, President Jonathan believes that Akhigbe will live on forever in the hearts and minds of those he touched positively during his long and remarkable career in military and in the political offices he held as a military officer.

Akhigbe, according to him, will be especially remembered and honoured by present and future generations for serving with distinction as military governor of Lagos and Ondo States, and as Chief of General Staff in the military administration that mid-wifed the present democratic dispensation in the country.
