Delta Governor Breaks Down In Tears During Father’s Private Burial

Delta State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, could not contain his emotions as he was seen in one of the pictures wiping tears from his eyes during the late father’s burial, Pa. Okorie Uzoma Okowa, at Owa-Alero, Ika north east local government area of Delta State.

Governor Okowa in a post on his verified Facebook account on the eve of Tuesday 16th February 2021, described his deceased father as a man with good track records.

Hear him: “Today, in a private ceremony, my siblings and I laid our dear father, Sir Okorie Okowa, to rest.

“In my eulogy, I remembered our late father as a good man who fought for the ordinary people in his community. As a teacher and a man of immense faith, he often suffered the consequences of standing for the truth — however, God always vindicated him at the end.

“This is why, today, as we paid our last respects to my father, I was proud of the extraordinary life that he lived, and I will always be honoured for the unique God-given privilege that I had to be his son.

“I will miss him… Till we meet again”, he added.
