With the passing of Senator Nosike Ikpo to eternal realms, Delta State has lost one of its great elders, and patriots whose life was a lesson in human productivity, principled living and passionate commitment to the cause of the people, Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has stated.

In his condolence message to the family of the late Senator Ikpo, the Deputy Senate President stated that the late elder-statesman led a positively impactful life, even as he urged his family members and all who knew him to take heart.

He said: “No doubt, Senator Nosike Ikpo was one of those great leaders whose memory we shall continue to cherish. His life yields lessons and examples worth reflecting upon for the benefit of all.

“Between 1933 when he was born and now that he just left us, there are numerous remarkable personal examples, decisions and active participation in collective efforts aimed at moving the society forward.

“Commendably, Senator Ikpo started his political career at the grassroots; he was Secretary of Ibusa Union and much later, leader of Izu Anioma and a much-respected elder in Delta State.

“He served as Councillor between 1976 to 1979 and was twice elected to the Senate – first, on the platform of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) in 1979 and later, the National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

“I particularly recall the vigour with which Senator Ikpo who was President of Anioma State Movement ably presented the case for creation of Anioma State before the National Assembly.”

DSP Omo-Agege who also doubles as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Review of the 1999 Constitution who urged young Deltans to be inspired by great Deltans accomplishments, stressing that the late Ikpo was one of Delta’s truly great personalities.

Omo-Agege encouraged youths to emulate the lives of great figures from Delta  including the the late and living ones.
