Ken Saro-Wiwa Jr’s Death, Profoundly 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.

Bro. Felix Obuah, PDP Chairman, Rivers State.
