“Chief Ogbeh was not just a statesman; he was a man of character and deep commitment to the service of Nigeria. He stood for principles that transcended politics, reminding us that leadership is about service to the people and fidelity to the truth.
“May his memory continue to inspire us all to pursue justice, unity, and development for our nation. May God grant him eternal rest and grant his family the fortitude to bear this great loss.”
