Ex-Delta senator dies at 78
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State on Wednesday condoled with the family of a former senator, Adegor Eferakeya, who died on Tuesday at the age of 78.
Charles Aniagwu, the Chief Press Secretary to governor, conveyed the governor’s condolence message in a statement in Asaba, the state capital. He commended the late senator’s disposition to serve the people and the nation whenever he was called upon, adding that he promoted democratic values and culture among his people.
“Besides, he objected to the October 4, 2009 deadline by the Federal Government for ending the amnesty it had granted to militants in the Niger Delta, saying the termination of the amnesty was premature,” he said.
