Motorists in some parts of Lagos groaned on Monday as security aides blocked several access roads in the metropolis for President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the widow of the former National Security Adviser, Gen. Owoye Azazi.
In what has become a routine anytime Jonathan or his wife, Patience, visit Lagos, armed soldiers and policemen mounted barricades on some major roads leading to Ikoyi as early as 5a.m, causing untold hardship for road users.
Jonathan was accompanied on the visit to Azazi’s Ikoyi, Lagos family home by his Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiadomhe; Special Adviser on Research, Documentation and Strategy, Oronto Douglas; Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah; Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Dieziani Alison-Madueke; former Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Commission, Mr. Timi Alaibe; and Chaplain, Aso Rock, Ven. Obioma Ozurumba.
Words failed the president during the visit at 10.30a.m as Oghiadhome had to speak on his behalf.
Azazi died along with the governor of Kaduna State, Patrick Yakowa, and four others when a Nigerian Navy helicopter conveying them from Okoroba, Bayelsa State to Port Harcourt International Airport crashed a few minutes after takeoff.
They had attended the burial of the father of Douglas when the incident occured.
