“At this moment I am short of words because this is a house I come to rejoice and strategize.
I have never for one day thought that I will come here for this kind of visit.
“Deacon Erebo Lori was my dear brother and friend I don’t know what to say. Even my wife was devastated when we heard the sad news of his death. This is someone I saw before I traveled on vacation.
“I believed that if there is anyone who could say things about Deacon Erebo Lori, I believe it should be me because I know I am very close to him. So to me this is a personal loss. My close ally is gone.
Erobo was not a deceitfulness person. I hardly trust people but for erobo it was easy for me to trust him.
“So on behalf of myself and the good people of Warri South Local Government Area, we want to console you on the death of your husband, father and brother. I just want to tell you that as a child of God, you should take solace in God, the great comforter,” Tidi said.
Responding on behalf of the family Mr Oristeneye Lori, thanked the Warri South Council Chairman and his entourage for the visit, saying that the family will not hesitate to inform them about the burial arrangement when the time comes.
“On behalf of the family, I want to thank the chairman and his entourage for the visit. We are indeed very happy that you have come to pay the family a visit.
For you to be able to squeeze out time from your busy scheduled to come here tells a lot about how close the two of you were. Though our brother is gone, today I am very sure that your willingness to stand by him is genuine,” Oristeneye Lori said.
