Late Nwobu-Alor
The Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has expressed sadness over the death of Chief Sylvester Nwobu-Alor, which he described as devastating. Obi was reacting to Chief Nwobu-Alor’s death over which he requested one minute silence when he got the news during his consultations in faraway United Kingdom.
He described Chief Nwobu-Alor as a consummate politician, recalling the critical part he played in his political journey; how he consulted him every now and then, and all his enduring advice that made him became a better politician over time.
He prayed for the repose of the soul of Chief Nwobu-Alor and said that for the memories of people like him, he would continue to be encouraged to serve the people selflessly.
Nwobu-Alor was a member of the old Anambra State House of Assembly and thereafter served under the successive governments in the state in different capacities.
