Macaulay in a condolence message issued in Asaba, said that he was saddened by the sudden death of Obi noting that it was painful and distressing for the former legislator to die at his prime.

“This is disheartening, painful and sorrowful for us to lose such a bundle of talents. Apart from his prowess in politics which culminated in his emergence as Speaker of the State House of Assembly as well as acting Governor of the State, Rt.
