“On behalf of our good people and my family, I express my heartfelt condolences to the great Edozien Family and all our dear people of Asaba and the Anioma Nation.

“The Asagba’s transition has undoubtedly left a huge void not only in our beloved Delta State which he committed decades of his blessed and wonderful life in unblemished service as the Asagba of Asaba, but also to Nigeria and humanity in general.

“The Asagba of Asaba was in a class of his own. He was highly respected and admired for his deep insights, wisdom, and intellectual sophistication.

“May Almighty God grant His Royal Majesty eternal rest in his bosom.”
