“Hon. Tim Owhefere was a brilliant, astute and robust lawmaker, whose enduring political pedigree ensured that he rose in the Legislature to become the Majority Leader of the House. He was a loyal, hardworking, patriotic and courageous lawmaker per excellence, who served his constituents and our party the PDP, with unquestionable diligence and commitment.

“On behalf of my family and the good people of Aniocha North, I offer my heartfelt condolences to the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, members of the House, the people of Isoko North Constituency and the entire Isoko nation, over the passing of this illustrious son of Isoko nation, Hon. Tim Kome Owhefere.

“I pray the good Lord to give his family, his immediate community, his constituents, his friends and associates, the fortitude to bear this huge loss at such a young age.

“May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
