She also thanked the planning committee for giving the victims of the crash a befitting send-off.
“To the family of Nick and all mourners, I also extend my condolences to you all. He was everyone’s friend, including mine. Nick, may God help you and keep your soul in a good place. I want the sister to come here. I hear she’s in form four. Where is she? I want to tell the planning committee, thank you. To the president for standing with the families.”
Toto thanked Sudi for offering to mentor artists and taking over from his beloved friend Ng’eno as their patron.
“Sudi, thank you for standing with the artistes just as Ng’eno did. You have a good heart, and we are going to help each other because you are the father of the artists,” she said.
The politician assured Nick’s family that their daughter would be in good hands.
“I saw that Nick was my age mate. For this girl, just leave her with me. I will help her study until she finishes form four. Let’s go over there so you can give me your details,” she added.
