Prestige was flown abroad over his ill health, I held on with so much hope and confidence, believing that he would return in sound health to continue representing the wonderful people of Aba North and South, but my hope and expectations were shattered when the sad news of his passing filtered in”

 

Dr. Otti regretted that Hon. Prestige’s death would deny his constituents the wonderful representation he was offering them before death came calling.

 

The renowned economist added that Hon. Prestige’s death was once again a sad reminder of the ephemeral nature of human life hence the need for the living to strive and live upright at all times since the next minute could be unpredictable.
