His death is coming few days after the passing of a female founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a former Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Shola Williams.

Prior to assuming the office of acting governor, Mr. Obi was the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, following the impeachment of the former Speaker, Martin Okonta.

Obi represented Ika North-East constituency at the House till 2015 when he did not seek re-election after three consecutive terms.

At the inception of the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa administration, Obi was appointed Special Adviser, a position that was not renewed in 2019 after Okowa’s re-election for second tenure.

A pastor and founder of Oracle of God Ministries, Obi hailed from Ute-Okpu in Ika North-East Local Government Area of the state.

He was last seen at a public function on Wednesday March 31, 2021 at the annual lecture of Maris Trust Council which held
