Delta Assembly holds valedictory session for former Delta State Acting Governor Sam Obi

A valedictory session was Thursday held in honour of the late former Acting Governor of the Delta State, Prince Sam Obi amidst tears, wailing and eulogies.

The valedictory session which was held at the State Assembly complex in Asaba for the late Prince Sam Obi, who was Speaker of the State House of Assembly, attracted sitting and non sitting members of the House.

Speaking during the session, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori, decried the demise of Prince Sam Obi, lamenting that from the tributes and testimonies I have read and heard since the passing of the former Speaker, it seems to me that the late Honourable Speaker knew his vision very early in life and chose to serve humanity and God from the very beginning. His political trajectory and his relationship with God are loud testimonies to this fact”.

Oborevwori said: “This is even more painful knowing that the late Prince Sam Obi once sat in this same position to preside over the House at plenary. I must confess that his demise was never contemplated at this time. This is rather the sun setting at noon. May his gentle soul rest in peace.”
