President Goodluck Jonathan could not hold back his emotions
at the burial rites for his younger brother, Meni Innocent Jonathan, who died
20 November, as he burst into tears.
Part of the rites was the Service of Songs held for Meni at
the Dame Patience Jonathan Square, Otuoke today. It attracted notable
government officials, including Senate President David Mark. Representatives of
Nollywood were there too. But a notable absentee was vice-president Namadi
Sambo, who kept away to prepare for the wedding of his two daughters in Kaduna
Saturday.
