Chief James Onanefe Ibori has described the transition of Olorogun Senator Felix Ovuodoroye Ibru as a great loss to the Urhobo nation, Delta State, Nigeria and indeed the world at large.

In a press statement of Sunday 13th March 2016 signed by Tony Eluemunor, his Media Assistant, Ibori said Felix Ibru was one of the precious few polyvalent achievers the world has ever seen. According to Ibori, Ibru stood out as an Architect, educationist, businessman, politician, Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Governor of Delta State, or President of the Urhobo Progress Union, he was truly outstanding.

Ibori said that Felix Ibru pursued excellence in all his endeavour just as a truly exceptional patriotism and the great resolve to leave the world better than he found it, informed his politics.

What was truly remarkable, according to Ibori, is that though Felix Ibru was a hugely successful businessman, and so was wealthy in every sense of the word, he never lost the common touch.

Ibori prayed that God would have mercy on the soul of this truly remarkable man and grant him eternal rest and also grant his family, the Urhobo people and the good people of Delta State the fortitude to bear this great loss.
