Adeyemi, the former Kogi West Chairman, APC Elders Advisory Councils said it is very pathetic and tragic that we lost Alh Linco as at the point of tapping from his wealth of experience is most required.
“Alh Ocheje will be greatly missed by the good people of Kogi state because, he cuts across all divides and his passion for political development in the State can never be underestimated.
“It is so much painful that, he departed at this particular moment in the history of our political refinement in Kogi State. As believed by the Muslim faithfuls, ‘indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to him we will all return.’ I wholy sympathise with both his political and related families and pray Allah SWT to forgive him all his shortcomings throughout his living and grant his families, the mental and emotional strength that will enable courage in the face of this adversity,” he said.
