The former governor stated that Late Sir Arthur Okorie Uzoma Okowa, even at old age, was still quite agile.
According to Dr. Uduaghan, “For some of us who knew him from GDM days, we can testify that he was a man with a very sharp mind.
“The exit, no doubt, is a painful experience which has left a vacuum not only in the immediate family but in the hearts of all of us who have related with him closely.
“He lived a consumate life as a loving father, devout christian, seasoned educationist and community leader. His glorious exit has brought to an end an eventful sojourn on earth.
“We are however, consoled by the fact that he lived a life full of achievements and enduring legacies for which he will always be remembered.
“In this moment of grief, I enjoin Gov Okowa and the family members to take solace in the fact that death is a natural phenomenon and that Papa was blessed to live to the ripe age of 89 years.
“On behalf of my family, I sincerely condole with the Gov and the entire family of late Sir Arthur Okorie Uzoma Okowa.
“It is our prayer that God almighty will grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss and grant the soul of our dearly beloved father, late Sir Arthur Okorie Uzoma Okowa, eternal rest”, he added.
