Governor Dickson
Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State has condoled with the people of Otuoke over the death of King Lord Ogiasa, Paramount Ruler of Otuoke, in Ogbia Local Government Area of the state.
Commiserating with the Ogiasa family and the people of Otuoke, Dickson in a condolence message, said the passage of the monarch has created a vacuum in the traditional administration of the community, in view of the sterling leadership qualities he displayed while alive.
He described the late paramount ruler as a disciplined, level-headed and God-fearing leader, who would not be forgotten by his people.
According to the statement late King Ogiasa was a favoured ruler, as it was during his reign that Otuoke Community witnessed the elevation of their worthy son, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to occupy the most exalted position in the country.
While praying God to grant the soul of the departed eternal repose, Governor Dickson also urged the Ogiasa family and the community to take courage in their moment of grief.
