While consoling the family of the bereaved, Governor Okowa said "I know you have had a very big loss, it is very painful, l know that Mama lived a good life and will be with God in heaven, we should be celebrating her exit because she has played her role on earth and touched so many lives positively."

"I pray that God will order your steps and guide you as you go through the burial ceremony of your mother. l pray that we all grow old like Mama and contribute our quota to developing our communities before God calls us home to himself", he added.

In a brief response, The first Son of the deceased, Sir Emmanuel Onyekwena thanked the governor and his entourage for the visit stating that "This is an honor and privilege done to this family because the governor is a humble person and identifies with those he comes in contact with"
