Mr. Vincent Okokoje, chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State’s Ward 9 of Warri South Local Government Area, is said to have fallen to the ground and passed away.
The APC Ward 12 Chairman, Comrade Gabriel Omorere, corroborated the report while speaking with journalists.
We went to a meeting on Wednesday at the home of Chief Ojogri, an APC leader in Warri South, he added. We only learned of his passing on Thursday morning.
“The death of Okokoje is a shock to the APC in Warri South and Delta State in general. The late Okokoje was a very gentleman who loves making peace amongst his colleagues.
“The deceased was a very hardworking man. He was amongst the three ward chairmen who won their wards in the just concluded election in Warri South Constituency II.”
Omorere, who led a delegation of APC chairmen in Warri South on a condolence to the wife, children and family of Okokoje, also said said the late chairman would be greatly missed.
“His departure has caused a very big vaccum within the APC in Warri South, I pray we have someone like him to work hard and move the party forward,” he added.
