Oh No Okowa Cries as PDP Chieftain Joseph Ogeh Dies
Joseph Ogeh, 56 years architect, died in the
early hours of Sunday in Warri.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Mr
Olisa Ifeajika, in Asaba, said the governor commiserated with the deceased’s
family, people of Isoko North Local Government Area and Oghara-Iyede community
in particular, over the demise of the astute and dependable politician and
chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Gov noted that the deceased was a thorough-bred architect and
certified Commonwealth Consultant, who was Commissioner for Housing from 2015
to 2019, adding that he also represented Isoko Ethnic Nationality as
commissioner on the board of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development
Commission (DESOPADEC) between 2011 and 2015.
“On behalf of the government and people of
Delta, I mourn the passing of Arc. Joseph Ogeh, a great professional and
grassroots-politician, who died in Warri on Sunday.
“The news of his death was one of great shock
and disbelief. He was an easy-going man, friendly and receptive to the young
and elderly, and distinguished himself in his service to the state.
“As Commissioner for Housing and a member of
the state‘s Executive Council in our first term, Ogeh served diligently and
demonstrated commitment to the unity and development of the state,” he said.
Okowa regretted that the deceased departed
when his services were needed more, and said that the state government and the
people would miss him greatly.
He prayed to God to accept his soul and grant
fortitude to the family, friends and associates he left to bear the loss.
