The Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obiano, has poured encomiums on the late Elder Austine Nwakoh who was laid to rest on Friday, September 20, 2019 at his home town, Kpean in Khana Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the burial of Nwakoh who until his demise was a member of the PDP, Obuah applauded his sense of commitment, loyalty and dedication, regretting that his demise has left a vacuum that would be difficult to fill.

The PDP Chairman said the party would miss the late Nwakoh who as an active party man, won many people into the PDP both in his native Kpean community and Khana Local Government at large.

He charged the Nwakoh family to uphold their faith as Christians and mourn their departed father, believing that they will all meet with him on the resurrection day.

Bro. Obuah also called on them to take solace in the fact that the late Nwakoh lived a life worthy of emulation and also left legacies not only for his children but for those yet unborn.

“He was a pace-setter, a political navigator and a positive influence not only to his immediate family but to Ogoni people in general. He would be missed but our prayers go to his family for God’s guidance, protection and continuous provisions,” Bro. Obuah said.
