*Hon David Olofu Pays Tribute to Late Chief Odeh Ageh*

Hon David Olofu yesterday attended the final internment of Chief Odeh Ageh in Edii-Any’Ode, Adum East, Obi LGA, alongside other dignitaries. Ageh, who passed away on November 24, 2025, was a distinguished public servant and close friend of Olofu.

Olofu recalled Ageh’s dedication during their tenure in former Governor Samuel Ortom’s cabinet from 2015, serving as Commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism, and later as Special Adviser on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises.

“His passing came to me as a deep shock,” Olofu stated, highlighting Ageh’s integrity, commitment, and sense of responsibility. Olofu described Ageh’s loss as a blow to friends, colleagues, and the community, citing his principled life and contributions as a politician, leader, and peace builder.

Olofu extended condolences to Ageh’s family on behalf of his family and the Apa Legacy Sustainability Initiative, urging them to find solace in his legacy. “May God grant his family, friends, and associates the strength to bear this painful loss, and may his soul rest in perfect peace,” he said.
