The party lamented that his departure has created a significant void that will be challenging to fill.
The APC offered its condolences, stating, “Our Party prays to God to grant his immediate family the fortitude to bear this huge loss. And may He comfort all members of the APC family in Ika Federal Constituency, Delta State and around the country at this difficult time.”
The statement concluded with a poignant prayer and hymnal quote: “Amazing Grace! Amazing Grace! May His Grace lead you home, and may it be true for you as proclaimed in the old hymnal: ‘To that old rugged cross I will ever be true, its shame and reproach gladly bear; then he’ll call me someday to my home far away, where his glory forever I’ll share.’”
