Late Pa Arthur Okowa.
The Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide commiserates with His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, Governor of Delta State; Okowa Family of Owa Alero and the Ika Nation, on the transition of his father, Pa Arthur Okorie Uzoma Okowa.
News of the death of Pa. Arthur Okowa was indeed painful and devastating, as the late Elder Statesman was a patriotic, passionate and detribalised Deltan and Nigerian. Most importantly, he was a friend of the Urhobo Nation and was father to many illustrious Urhobo Sons.
The UPU fondly remembers Pa. Okowa as a man of peace, and bridge-builder, who preached inter-ethnic harmony. Late Pa Okowa worked assiduously for the unity, peace, progress and development of Delta State.
It was in recognition of his detribalised nature and contribution to the peace and development of communities outside his native Ika, that the Okpara-Uku of Orogun Kingdom in Ughelli North LGA, conferred on Pa. Okowa the honorary Chieftaincy title of Atanerhu of Orogun Kingdom, in November 2018.
On behalf of the UPU and entire Urhobo Nation, the President-General, Olorogun Dr. Moses Oghenerume Taiga, JP; National Executive Council and Board of Trustees of UPU, deeply mourn with the First Family of Delta State, and prays that God grants His Excellency, Governor Okowa and the entire family the peace and strength to bear the irreplaceable loss.
May the soul of our dear father, Pa. Arthur Okowa, rest in eternal peace. Amen.
Signed;
Hon. Abel Oshevire,
National Publicity Secretary
