The Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has commiserated with the Ibru family over the death of the former governor.

A statement issued by the governor’s office describes the late Senator Ibru as a patriot and political icon who led the state to her embryonic stage.

“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I mourn the exit of a legend, political titan and first civilian governor of Delta State, Olorogun Senator Felix Ovuodoroye Ibru.

“Senator Ibru’s “life-long dedication and indefatigable commitment to serving the people of Delta State as well as the Urhobos worldwide, where he served meritoriously as a Senator and President of the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) will be sorely missed”.

The Governor also described Senator Ibru as a renowned politician, businessman and a highly Revered Octogenarian, among the very special people who made significant and indelible contributions to their countries and humanity.
