Reno Omokri, former aide of President Goodluck Jonathan, has announced the death of his grandfather.
Mr Omokri announced the loss on Monday night on Twitter, saying his grandfather was someone he respected and loved the most.
“I just lost the man I respect and love the most, bar none, living or dead, except Christ. The man that in my native tongue (Itsekiri), I would call my olayemi,” he wrote.
“I lost my grandfather. I was born in his house. He brought me up as a son,” Omokri said, adding that he would not be on Twitter for the next three days.
The former presidential aide did not give further information on the death.
