Long ago while we were in PDP, he was a field man and a political forte of sorts.“I recall the last conversation I had with him last year, when he called to complain about his deposition as the traditional ruler of his community. I advised him to take it as an act of God and move on.“It is quite troubling that Alex was gruesomely murdered by yet to be identified persons . I send my sincere condolences to his wife and children and all who mourn this painful, brutal death.” I urge the security agencies to fish out his killers and bring them to justice.May God Almighty grant him eternal rest.” the statement Reads
