"He was instrumental in strengthening party cohesion and promoting inclusive dialogue. His presence in every party engagement brought stability and thoughtful leadership to our consultations in the zone," he added.

The Governor also extends condolences to the family of the deceased, the leadership and members of the APC in the state, the people of Dekina local government area, and the entire Kogi East Senatorial District. 

He prayed that Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljanatul Fridaus.
