“The versatile President of the [NC left us when we needed his wonderful and kind advises. I am sad with his sudden death which shook the whole world. One of our shinning stars have left us and it will be difficult to fill the vacuum, but we believe that God Almighty knows why it happened”, he stated.
“General” Smith said the late INC boss made meaningful contributions to the socio-economic growth of the nation, pointing out that the entire country, Rivers State and every defender of justice will forever miss him. He consoled the immediate family and the entire Odo Abaji War Canoe House of Okrika for losing this worthy son so soon. ###
