Buhari mourns the late Senator Rose Oko

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent condolences to the government and people of Cross River State and the National Assembly over the passing of the senator representing Cross River North, Rose Okoji Oko.

He said the lawmaker’s  “historic service to the nation at the National Assembly, starting out at the House of Representatives and, later, at the Senate, will always be remembered”, affirming that her long stay at the legislature testified to her popularity and acceptance.”

As one of the women, who championed development issues, especially on girl-child education and health, Buhari noted, with sadness, that her voice, intelligence and experience “will be sorely missed, and the promise of a brighter political career would not be realised.”
