Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has expressed deep sorrow over the sudden death of his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, Sunday Kotor.
He described his passing as a painful loss to the state government and the people of Delta.
Kotor, a dedicated aide to the governor and a seasoned Master of Ceremonies, reportedly died after collapsing at a private event on Friday evening. He reportedly slumped during the event and was immediately rushed to a medical facility, where doctors’ efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. He was later confirmed dead.
Governor Oborevwori, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, described the late Kotor as a dedicated and committed public servant who gave his best in the discharge of his duties.
“Late Sunday, Kotor was wholly dedicated to his job. His passing is a huge loss, not only to his family but to the government and people of Delta State,” he lamented.
Governor Oborevwori extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased, particularly his younger brother, Conference Kotor, who serves as Senior Special Assistant to the Governor (media).
The Governor noted that Kotor’s contributions to the government’s activities, especially in protocol and event coordination, would be greatly missed.
Kotor was a familiar face in Government House, Asaba, where he played a prominent role anchoring official state functions for over two decades.
