The death of Okokoje is a shock to the APC in Warri South and Delta State in general.
“The late Okokoje was a gentleman who loves making peace amongst his colleagues.
“The deceased was a very hardworking man.
“He was amongst the three ward chairmen who won their wards in the just concluded election in Warri South Constituency II.”
Omorere, who led a delegation of APC chairmen in Warri South on a condolence to the wife, children and family of Okokoje, also said the late chairman would be greatly missed.
“His departure has caused a very big vacuum within the APC in Warri South, I pray we have someone like him to work hard and move the party forward,” he added.
