President Goodluck Jonathan has received with shock and sadness, news of the passing away of Senator Akpor Pius Ewherido today at the National Hospital in Abuja.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) Reuben Abati President Jonathan and all members of the executive arm of the Federal Government, extends heartfelt condolences to Senator Ewherido\u2019s family; the Senate President, Senator David Mark and all of the late Senator\u2019s colleagues in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

The statement reads, “The President joins them, members of the Ewherido family and the government and people of Delta State in mourning the distinguished legislator who served commendably as a member and deputy speaker of the Delta State of Assembly before his election as the Senator representing the Delta Central Senatorial District in the 2011 general elections.”<\/p>\n

President Jonathan prays that God Almighty will comfort Senator Ewherido\u2019s family, relatives, colleagues in the National Assembly and all the people of his constituency.<\/p>\n

He further prays that God will, in His infinite mercies, grant them the strength and fortitude to bear the painful loss of the very promising politician at the relatively youthful age of 50.<\/p>\n
