Ewhofere, had been friends for such a very long time and we have been through alot as political associates, especially when it comes to grassroots politicking in Isokoland where be both came from and learnt the rope about the political structures of our area”.

“Hon. Owhofere, was an astute politician, a grassroot man to the core and a team player anyday, anytime. What Distinguished him mostly is his passion for the growth and development of Isoko nation and this he was committed to all through his stay in the state Assembly”.

“I pray God to grant his gentle soul eternal rest and give the family left behind the fortitude to bear the loss”, he stated.Also in a brief condolences message to the governor, the APC stalwart, urged Governor Okowa, his immediate family and the good people of Owa-Alero, Ika North East Local Government Area, to take solace in the fact that late Pa Arthur Okowa, lived a glorious life worthy of emulation by all.

Hon. Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, a former State Coordinator of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), for Delta, Edo and Rivers States, said the exemplary life of Pa Arthur Okowa, can be seen in the discipline and forthrightness he inculcated in his children and those close to him.
