In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party described Chief Arthur Okowa’s death as a huge blow not only to the Okowa family, but also to Delta State and the nation at large, particularly as he exited the stage at this time when the state and our nation needed his prayers, wise counsel and encouragement the most.

“Though we mourn, we find comfort in the fact that Chief Arthur Okowa ran a good race before God, lived a fulfilled life and bequeathed to us a statesman in Governor Okowa, whose commitment to the welfare and development of his state, our party the PDP and our nation at large, has been outstanding.” the PDP said.
