High Chief Wellington Bobo, the Oroupawei of Gbaramatu Kingdom, has described late Sir Arthur Okowa as a great Father of Leaders in Delta State and beyond.

Chief Bobo who spoke in Warri on behalf of Ijaw Elders stated that Pa Okowa until his passage always demonstrated wisdom in his leadership style by making sure that stakeholders make impact in any decision making process.

The elder statesman noted in his condolence message that Pa Okowa who took a bow at 88 lived a fulfilled life in his service to God and humanity.

Bobo the populist Chief in his speech remarked that one rare quality that cannot be taken from the late Octogenarian father of the Governor of Delta State is the fact that he is a very good listener to all who came across his path when he was on mother earth.

Chief Bobo, anchored on the premise of a life well spent, advised the children of late Pa Okowa and the entire extended Okowa family to follow up the legacy of their great father who has left a giant print on planet earth.

He prayed God Almighty to grant the soul of Sir Okorie Uzoma Arthur Okowa eternal bliss.
