Abuja (Sundiata Post) – All Progressives Congress presidential hopeful, Senator Rochas Okorocha has received the unfortunate news of the death of Oguta , lmo State born Statesman, Chief Francis Arthur Nzeribe with rude shock , describing his demise this time , as a great loss to the Nation.
Okorocha was the former governor of lmo state and at the moment, the Senator Representing lmo West senatorial District, Chief Nzeribe’s senatorial zone.
Okorocha’s condolence visit was contained in a statement signed by the Special Adviser (Media) to the former governor of lmo state and Senator representing lmo West senatorial district, Sam. Onwuemeodo made available to Sundiata Post in Abuja.
According to the statement, Senator Okorocha noted that Nzeribe was an enigma and political octopus whose brand of politics remained a puzzle or a mystery to his contemporaries in particular and to all.
Okorocha maintains that Nzeribe’s own pages or chapters would be in colours, when the political history of the nation would be chronicled.
For Okorocha, the story of the politics of Nigeria would not be completed without some pages or chapters being devoted to Chief Nzeribe which he earned by dint of hard work.
Okorocha remarked that Nzeribe made the Nation’s Senate very attractive and party politics very interesting.
According to Okorocha, Nigeria as a nation and Nigerians as a people, would regrettably miss Nzeribe and his “mystery politics”.
Okorocha further describes Nzeribe as a politician with a large-heart, who also played politics of tolerance.
Senator Okorocha extended his condolences to Chief Nzeribe’s family, people of Oguta, People of Orlu Zone, lmo people and to Nigerians in general.
He prayed that GOD would grant the soul of Chief Nzeribe eternal rest and to grant those he left behind to mourn him all they need to overcome the pressure, occasioned by this great loss.
