*Late Kenneth Ogba


(Nigeria) Deputy Governor of Delta State, Deacon Kingsley Otuaro, said the demise of the member representing Isoko South Constituency I of the Delta State House of Assembly, Kenneth Ogba, is disheartening to the state government.

Otuaro made the remark yesterday when he paid a condolence visit on the Speaker of Delta State House Assembly, Sheriff Oborovwori.  

The deputy governor noted that Kenneth Ogba demise was sudden and a sad moment for the state.

While remarking that the late legislator was a good example of humility and dedication to God and humanity, Otuaro enjoined all to be reassured that Kenneth Ogba lived a fulfilled life and would be missed.            

"I am here with my friends and members of the office of the deputy governor to condole with you and the entire members of the House of Assembly for this lost.

“We want to say the passing on of one of us is quite a sad moment. My heart felt condolence to all the members of the state house of assembly.

”He was a man that exemplified himself through humility, dedication to work and service to God and to humanity. We will certainly miss him," Otuaro said.

Earlier, Oborovwori, while receiving the deputy governor in his official residence, at the Legislators Quarters, Asaba, said that the news of the passing of Kenneth Ogba came as a rude shock to all members of the house of assembly.

"As we speak, the house is still mourning. It's not a good time for us, because of what the house has experienced this year.

“Within five months, we lost first the Majority Leader, Tim Owhefere, member representing Isoko North Constituency and now another.

"When people condole with you makes you strong. Yesterday, His Excellency was here and today you are here, that is why the good working relationship between the executive and legislative have been very very cordial," Oborovwori stated.

The speaker thanked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, whom he said earlier paid the entire members of the house condolence visit and his deputy, Otuaro, for the show of concern, which the speaker attributes to the cordial relationship between the state executive and legislature.

Oborevwori called on all to pray for the Isoko nation, saying both diseased members of the state house of assembly were from Isoko nation.          

Late Kenneth Ogba, reportedly died on Sunday evening at 8p.m., during a meeting where he was said to have been provoked by a certain party faithful.
