The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives has expressed deep shock and grief-stricken over the sudden death of the member representing Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency of Edo State, Hon. Jude Ise-Idehen.
In a statement on Saturday by the Minority of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Ndudi Elumelu, the Federal Lawmakers said their hearts bleeds and lamented that indeed, Nigeria has lost a patriot; a vibrant and selfless legislator who remained steadfast in his commitment towards the unity, stability and development of the Country.
“Hon. Jude Ise-Idehen was a humble, peaceful, dedicated, hardworking and remarkably focused lawmaker; a very kind-hearted and amiable personality who loved Nigerians and stood for the rights and interest of the people.
“As a member of the Edo State House of Assembly and later the House of Representatives, Hon. Jude Ise-Idehen selflessly dedicated his time, energy, expertise and resources in the service of the people.
“The death of Ise-Idehen, especially at this critical time when his experience and commitment are needed the most, is a not only a big blow to our Caucus and the entire House of Representatives, but also a personal loss to me. He was a dependable brother, associate and comrade and he will be sorely missed.
“Though we deeply mourn, we draw solace in the fact that despite his ascendancy in political leadership Hon. Ise-Idehen remained a devout Christian and we believe that he now rests in the bosom of the Lord,” the Lawmakers stated, even as theycommiserated with his family, the people of Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency as well as the Government and People of Edo State and prayed God to console them all on the painful and irreparable loss.
