“A principled political and business leader with an inspiring sociable personality which endeared him to many Nigerians across all walks of life.” Nigeria OkotieEboh OmoAgege
Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has described the weekend’s passage of pioneer chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Chief Adolor Okotie-Eboh, as “a huge loss not just to the state but to the entire country.”
Recalling the role played by the scion of the Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh family of Itsekiri kingdom in a statement in Abuja, the federal lawmaker stated that he had lost a bosom friend, an elder brother and an influential political adviser. Paying tributes to the late politician, Omo-Agege said the departed was as a “principled political and business leader with an inspiring sociable personality which endeared him to many Nigerians across all walks of life.”
He added: “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 , where he was also then the Delta State chairman and worked with my humble self as the party’s governorship candidate.”
