A prominent politician in Kogi State, Prince Emman Omadivi has called on the state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, to name an institution in the state in honour of Adinoyi Ojo Onukaba who died last week Sunday during an encounter with armed robbers around Akure in Ondo state.
In a statement, Prince Omadivi, who was gubernatorial aspirant in the 2015 in Kogi state, like the late Onukaba, said that the deceased was a dogged fighter against injustice, which had resulted into the creation and sustenance of the state today.
The politician, who is also the Managing Director of Spotlight Communications Limited, further described late Onukaba as a man of many parts whose death, he said, was tragic.
Late Onukaba, Prince Omadivi stressed was enigmatic, stoical and a patriot to the core.
According to him, the vacuum created by his sudden passage would take a long time to fill even as he sympathized with his family, the Kogi State government and Nigerians for what he called, ‘the monumental loss.’
He prayed for the repose of his soul. [myad]
