| DSP Omo-Agege with the late Okotie-Eboh. |
The
Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has described the death
of the pioneer Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Chief
Adolor Okotie-Eboh as a huge loss not just to the state but the entire country.
Omo-Agege,
while recalling the effective role played by the scion of the great Chief
Festus Okotie-Eboh family of Itsekiri Kingdom, said that he has lost a bosom
friend, an elder brother and an influential political adviser.
Okotie-Eboh
died on Saturday.
A
statement personally signed by Omo-Agege and issued in Abuja yesterday
described Okotie-Eboh as a "principled political and business leader with
an inspiring sociable personality which endeared him to many Nigerians across
all walks of life.'
"It
took his bold, extraordinary leadership skills to transform the APC to a viable
opposition from its now defunct main legacy party, the Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) where he was also then the Delta State Chairman and worked with
my humble self as the party’s Delta State Governorship candidate",
Omo-Agege explained.
He
said though it would be difficult to come to terms with the reality of Chief
Okotie-Eboh’s exit, it was his prayer that the Almighty God would comfort
and strengthen the entire Okotie-Eboh family at this moment.
'Chief
Okotie-Eboh was a profoundly good leader and we pray that his wonderful soul
finds rest in Jesus name", he stated.
