Dr. Jonathan, in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Ike Eze, described Pa Diri as a well-respected community leader and teacher who nurtured many across the state to greatness.

The former President stated this in a condolence letter he personally signed in which he further portrayed the deceased as a leading light in the community and prayed for God to console Governor Diri and his family and grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
He stated: “As the patriarch of the Diri family, Pa Diri was a symbol of strength, unity, wisdom, and discipline. He was a man of exemplary  character, fervent in service to God and  humanity. An acclaimed community leader, Pa Diri was also a celebrated teacher, a retired headmaster who nurtured many across the state to greatness.
