Gov Ododo mourns ex-Kogi deputy speaker

The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji. Ahmed Ododo, has expressed profound sadness over the death of the former deputy speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Enema Paul.

Hon. Enema Paul succumbed to a protracted illness in the early hours of Saturday.

He described Hon. Paul’s death as a heavy blow not only to his family and Dekina Local Government Area but also to the entire state.

Hon. Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kogi State, Kingsley Fanwo, in a statement issued on Saturday, said Hon. Enema Paul served the people of Kogi State with great dedication.

He was a former Commissioner for Rural Development, a one-time Deputy Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, and a sitting member of the Assembly until his untimely demise.

“As a distinguished legislator and devoted servant of the people, Hon. Paul embodied the values of hard work, unity, and commitment to the progress of our dear state. He was a detribalised leader who believed in the vision of a greater Kogi State.

“Our hearts go out to his immediate and extended family, the people of Dekina LGA, and all those touched by his life of service,” the governor said. “We stand united in grief and will provide support to his family during this difficult time.”

“The Government of Kogi State prays for the eternal repose of Hon. Enema Paul’s soul and asks that God grant his family and loved ones the fortitude to bear this loss.

“May his legacy continue to inspire us all.”
