President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with family of Chief Patrick Sito Ideh, the Okpako-Orere of Otughievwen and Ushota of Ughievwen Kingdom, and all sons and daughters of Urhobo Kingdom, over passing of the royal father.

This is contained in a statement by the president’s spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, on Saturday in Abuja.

Buhari also condoled with the government and people of Delta, professional and business associates of the departed, urging more trust in God, and appreciation for the long life of the elder statesman and former lawmaker.

The late traditional ruler had served as member of the House of Representatives between 1979 and 1983.

The president affirmed that the legal icon and businessman worked selflessly for the unity and progress of his domain, leaving landmark testimonies of speaking for the voiceless, supporting the underprivileged, and most significantly, ensuring presence of sons and daughters in national discourse.

Buhari prayed for a peaceful rest for the departed and God’s comfort for his family.
