His demise is a big blow to legislative advancement of the state, he was a strong pillar to the unity, peace and legislative work of the House. A legislator par excellence who will be missed by us all members, of the Assembly and those who had met him, and worked with him all these years.
At plenary, he always displayed his sagacious and mastery of affairs of legislative operations. His jokes calmed nerves, and his great leadership roles towards members was exceptionally admiring.
Rich in Style, Highly Dependable, filled with Experiences, always on Duty, Commander of Legislators, and if there is a bigger tree than the Iroko, he was that tree in the legislative business.
“Major” left when a lot was expected of him, but what right have we to question the Almighty.
I condole with the family, and the entire people of Isoko North State Constituency, and my Honourable Colleagues, asking that his legacy should be preserved and not be wished away.
Good Night, My Able and Sagacious Major!”
