Tributes to General John Shagaya- An Ode To a Sea Lion...by H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga
We lost another gem…yesterday we lost one…and the day before another…..Death... be no callous stranger;
 I met with General John Shagaya in his last outing a few days ago in the celebrated NIPSS {National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies} retreat for leaders of Political Parties in Nigeria, addressed to working out dynamic organizational structures for Political Parties and his lectures and contributions were remarkable addressed to entrench sustainable democratic dispensation in Nigeria and Sub Saharan Africa…his exit from this world is still a mystery and a sudden shock to all Chairmen of Political Parties in Nigeria…
He warmed himself into our hearts in the NIPSS {National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies} retreat a few days ago, and we were all getting set for a new dawn in the affairs of our democracy in Nigeria just for  cruel death to snatch the amiable General of the ECOMOG and a veteran of the dreaded 3ed Marine Commando from our midst forever. He was an erudite intelligentsia, an author, a former Minister and Senator of the Republic..Death why do you take away the best among us at the time they are needed most?....Woo unto thee Death…be no stranger… nevertheless…
General John Shagaya Fought a good fight, kept the faith, kept the flag flying …and left giant strides in the Sands of Time….May his gentle soul rest in peace in the bosom of the Lord.
