Dickson mourns Idongesit Nkanga, Kwankwaso’s dad

The senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Henry Seriake Dickson,  has commiserated with the duo of Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom State and Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso over their recent bereavements.

While Kwankwaso lost his father, Alhaji Musa Kwankwaso, Udom lost Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga, the first indigenous Military administrator of Akwa Ibom.

In his message of condolence,  Dickson, who is the immediate past governor of Bayelsa State, condoled with both the governor and the people of Akwa Ibom, as well as with “the leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Chief EK Clark, and the entire Niger Delta on the death of the former military administrator who was also a former chairman of PANDEF”.

Sen. Dickson  noted that, *Nkanga lived a life of service to God, humanity, the Nigerian Federation, the Niger Delta and his people”, adding: “He was a leader of his people in Akwa Ibom and the Niger Delta apart from the illustrious services he rendered to the country in the military.

“He made out time to serve the people of the Niger Delta where he advanced the national discourse on resource control, restructuring, and the inclusion of the people in the Nigerian State and he died fighting for equality in the Nigerian federation”.

In a similar message to former Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, on the death of his father, Dickson said: “I urge Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso to be condoled by the fact that his father lived his full life in the service of God and man having lived up to a ripe age of 93.

“The late Kwankwaso who held the prestigious title of Majidadin Kano, died serving his people as the District Head òf Madobi Local Government Area”.

Sen. Dickson prayed God for the peaceful repose of the souls of both men.
