Delta State has again lost a frontline politician who was onetime acting governor of the state, Right Honourable Sam Obi.

A reliable source who is a native of his village, Ute-Ukpu in Ika North East Local Government Area confirmed to NewsNet the passage of Obi at the early hours of Saturday in Asaba.

It was gathered that the deceased who has been unstable in health recently was last seen on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, at the annual lecture of Maris Trust Council, held at the Unity Hall of Government House, Asaba.

The late Sam Obi was sworn in in November 2010 as acting governor when the Appeal Court sitting Benin, Edo State, nullified the election of the then governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan.

Before becoming acting governor, Obi was the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, following the impeachment of the former Speaker, Martin Okonta.

Obi represented Ika North-East constituency for three consecutive terms.

Known to be a dogged personality, the late Sam Obi propagated the gospel of Jesus Christ as pastor and founder of Oracle of God Ministries with headquarters in Asaba.
