TRIBUTE:McGUINNESS FACED DEATH WITH GREAT COURAGE
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
It is no longer news that the Irish political family has lost a
shooting star ,but the likes of Martin McGuinness are like a Meteor that comes
to this part of the galaxy once in a life time.
The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia
Group,Lagos,Nigeria ,got to working very closely him just towards the tail end
of his life and even at that he did not in any way betray any forms of emotions
about his ill health or fragile nature.
In the days,weeks,months before the March,201 Parliamentary
elections in Northern Ireland,Mr McGuinness kept canvassing for votes from the
Irish people thus making him the real hero of the elections.
He,just like his great friend :Gerry Adams had always
envisioned a unified Irish home land devoid of perennial sectarian disputes
between the Roman Catholic Church and the protestants .
He will also be remembered for his leadership and pioneering
role he put on display during the signing of the Good Friday agreement upon
which the peace process was laid.
His strength of character as a man of impeccable came to the
fore when he resigned last year in the coalition government in Northern Ireland
with the Democratic Union Party citing irreconcilable differences over policies on electricity which was going
to cost tax payers seriously at 450 million pounds sterling.
We at The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia
Group in Lagos,Nigeria ,joins the rest of the world and the Sinn Fein family and all lovers
of democratic ideals to mourn the passage to the great beyond of such a great
soul:we say,Fare Thee well Martin
