An aspirant vying for Delta State House of Assembly seat to represent Isoko North Constituency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Hon Jude Ogbimi has condoled with the Isoko North People Democratic Party Chairman Prince Deacon Godwin Ogorugba over the death of his mother describing her demise as depressing and disheartening.

According to a statement signed by his Press Secretary and made available to newsmen, Jude Ogbimi said that, “The death of Mrs Victoria Ogorugba was not only a loss to her immediate and extended family members, but also to entire Isoko nation particularly Isoko North Constituency.”

He added that, “The deceased died when her motherly advice and prayers for her son as Chairman Isoko North PDP were needed most. She was a devoted Christian who lived an upright life serving God and the people of her community.

“Mrs Victoria Ogorugba was a devoted Christian who dedicated her life to the relentless teaching and zealous practice of the core values of Christianity. I therefore urge the family to be consoled by the fact that she fulfilled her purpose in life by raising God-fearing children. Her exceptional humanitarian services also stand as an external testimonial, which her community will forever cherish.”

Ogbimi, who said he received the news of Mama Ogorugba’s death with disbelief, described the deceased “as a quiet mother whose life was exemplary to others as she struggled so hard to raise her children and ensured they are well protected and placed in the society and also a pride to womanhood and pillar of support to her son.”

He prayed that God should grant the deceased eternal rest and the Ogorugba family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
