He said that Major – General E. O. Obada would be remembered for his lofty leadership skill, strategies and foresight which helped to project Urhobo nation in the country and the world at large.

“The urhobo people, particular the butchers are pained by the exit of our leader and true statesman at a time his wealth of leadership experience is needed more than before.
