Kaduna / NationalTurk – Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa and former national security adviser Gen Owoye Azazi and 3 others were on the helicopter which came down in Bayelsa state killing all onboard the Nigerian Navy helicopter.
Local media reported that the Governor had attended a burial ceremony of a farther of a Presidential aide in a village of Okoroba in Bayelsa state and was returning when this unfortunate incident happened about 3: 30 local time on Saturday.
“The nation has lost a great patriot who in about two years in saddle as the Governor of Kaduna State demonstrated an unyielding capacity in wielding together varying fragile interests,” the Peoples Democratic Party said in a statement to the media confirming the Governor death.

Aviation disaster common in Nigeria
This year alone had seen 3 incidents of air crash in Nigeria which many analysts believe is due to the poor nature of the aviation system in the country.
In March, a police helicopter carrying a high-ranking police official crashed in the central Nigerian city of Jos, killing four people.
In June, a Dana Air MD-83 passenger plane crashed into a neighborhood in the commercial capital of Lagos, killing 153 people onboard and at least 10 people on the ground which became a record of Nigeria’s worst air crash in nearly two decades.
In October, a plane made a crash landing in central Nigeria but no casualties were recorded but the state governor and five others who were onboard sustained various degrees of injuries.
But Prophet TB Joshua says he for saw the disaster and asked for prayers for the country
Meanwhile, as some people blamed the incident on the poor nature of the aviation system of the country, Prophet TB Joshua a power man of God in Nigeria told his congregation on Sunday afternoon that God revealed it to him and he announced it in the church as a prophecy.
The man of God ordered that the prophecy should be played back to the congregation on a big screen in the church which was also live on Emmanuel TV and You Tube channels which indeed confirmed that he gave the prophecy early this year.
The played back video showed Prophet TB Joshua warning that not more than 1 government officials should board one aircraft either from one state to the other or from Nigeria to other country since he has seen blood of high profile personalities in the country flowing from one air craft disaster.
Prophet TB Joshua is the owner of Synagogue Church Of All Nations SCOAN in Nigeria which has received international recognition as a result of what Prophet Joshua does and prophesies about other nations which comes to pass including the United States of America.
Prophet TB Joshua concluded by saying that everybody should be vigilant in prayers since what he says comes from the Lord almighty and also prayed for the family and the country to bear the grief of the late governor and those who lost their life along side him.

Any right thinking human will know that Nigeria has a very high aviation casualties. We also know that it is the well to do that flies around and are likely to be involved in those casualties. Until the people in power fixes Nigerian issues, a lot of souls especially the o called leaders will continue to die
Baba Patrick Yakowa is a great man of opportunities with much love for his people.May his soul rest in perfect peace.
I can’t say anything about prophesy..The only comment that i ‘ll leave is that God knows everything that is happening on earth..
Many innocent people die of road accident day by day but no one cares; only for one person to died and people begin to make noise are other people not important as well. Mean whle is he on official duy that will benefi the people of his state? nemesis will still catch people or so called leders of his type who uses people money to emback on an unnessary journey
may his soul rest in peace amen,may god grant thire family the heart to bear the lost amen
In as much as our s called leaders will leaveour roads in bad shape and full of armed robbers; then they should be ready to bear the consequencies irrespective of heir religious belives or affilation. More deaths await them

May d Souls of d Victims rest in Perfect Peace ON 1 condition, This is IF their Contributions 2 Present Nigerian Situation is of Good 1, BUT IF Dey were among dos dat Jeopardised Nigerian Economy, They will also Meet God On His Throne.
The country need a powerfull prayer, but if TB Joshua can pray to almighty as a prophecy for a solution of the country let him do so. As long as he seen that by the of God.
may his soul RIP.
