Governor Usman Ododo has expressed sadness over the passing of Hon. Enema Paul, who succumbed to a protracted illness in the early hours of today.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, the Governor described late Hon. Enema as a distinguished legislator and devoted servant of the people.
Governor Ododo described Hon. Paul’s death as a heavy blow not only to his family and Dekina Local Government Area but also to the entire state.
“Hon. Enema Paul served the people of Kogi State with great dedication. He was a former Commissioner for Rural Development, a one-time Deputy Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, and a sitting member of the Assembly until his untimely demise.
“Hon. Paul embodied the values of hard work, unity, and commitment to the progress of our dear state. He was a detribalized leader who believed in the vision of a greater Kogi State.
“Our hearts go out to his immediate and extended family, the people of Dekina LGA, and all those touched by his life of service,” the Governor said. “We stand united in grief and will provide support to his family during this difficult time. May his legacy continue to inspire us all.”
The Government of Kogi State prayed for the eternal repose of Hon. Enema Paul’s soul and asked that God grants his family and loved ones the fortitude to bear this loss.
