Shocking, Great Loss – Rivers PDP
Chairman, Bro. Felix Obuah
The Rivers State Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obuah has described the death
of Ken Saro-Wiwa Jr. as profoundly shocking.
Bro. Obuah, in a
statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam
further said the demise of Saro-Wiwa Jr., a journalist, and son of the late
environmentalist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, is a big blow not only to the Ogonis and Rivers
State but all Nigerians and minorities of the world.
The PDP Chairman added
that by the death of Ken Saro-Wiwa Jnr, Ogoni and Rivers State have lost a
worthy patriot, having served in the Presidency first, under former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, President Umaru Yar’Adua and later, President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Regretting that the passing
away of Ken Saro-Wiwa Jr. has left a big
vacuum, hard to fill in the struggle for minority and environmental rights, Bro.
Obuah however condoled with the Ogonis over the sad and unfortunate incident,
noting that God gives and God takes.
Bro. Obuah prayed God to
give the Wiwa family, Ogonis, Rivers people and Nigerians at large the
fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
