The Cross River state governor, Professor Ben Ayade
has described as a monumental loss to the nation and the media
industry, the death of the publisher of Leadership newspaper, Sam
Nda-Isaiah.
The governor lamented in a press statement signed by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr.Christian Ita, that “Sam died at
his prime and at a time his rich input to the growth of the media
industry in Nigeria was still needed.”
“It was with rude shock and utter disbelief that I received the
news of Sam’s demise. For Nigeria and for his immediate
constituency, the media, this is a monumental loss, a sad,
irreparable loss. Sam was simply one of the finest of the pack”,
Professor Ayade further said in the statement.

Urging his immediate family and the media industry to take the
Leadership Newspaper publisher’s sudden death in their strides, the
governor stated that “since it has pleased God to recall Sam to His
bosom at the prime of his career and age, we can not but submit to
His will for He alone knows why Sam had to leave us at this
time.”
Continuing, Ayade said: “The Holy Bible admonishes us to praise
God and give Him thanks in all situations, and so, I thank God for
the very impactful and salutary life Sam lived, for according to
Ralph Waldo Emerson, “it is not the length of life, but depth of
life”
The governor prayed that God grants Nda-Isaiah’s soul peaceful
repose.
