President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday expressed condolences to the government and people of Delta State on the death of a Second Republic senator and member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Francis Okpozo.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President also commiserated with the family and friends of the late senator “whose championing of social justice in the Niger Delta, during his long history of service to the people, endeared him to many.”
As a stalwart of the APC in the South-South, Buhari said the party benefited greatly from the octogenarian’s charismatic leadership and wealth of experience as a politician.
