Omo-Agege, in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, disclosed that his sadness over the death of Oniga became “more tolerable” when he started seeing numerous inspiring tributes made by many Nigerians over her professional contributions and caring nature.
“That Nigerians from all walks of life joined us in mourning her demise amply attests to the worthy qualities of Chief Rachel Tabuno Oniga, a sister, mother and grandmother whose decades of professional contribution to Nollywood partly projects the irrepressible creativity and dynamism of not only the Urhobo woman but Delta state womenfolk in general.
The Deputy Senate President was quoted as saying this in the statement titled ‘Late Oniga, Victorious Brume, Evidence of Delta Women’s Exceptional Potential, says Omo-Agege.’ Omo-Agege said, “Sometimes, it is not just about how long but how well. Rachel epitomised the industrious nature of our women who, while working hard to care for families, dependants and many more in the community, also demonstrate great capacity towards enhancing the progress and positive image of our country.
