“He was the Deputy House Leader
and he was transparent to a fault and very principled.

week ago in hospital and we were informed he was doing well and would be
discharged.
“I had looked forward to his
resumption but alas!!! I will miss Buba and my heart, thoughts and prayers go
out to his family. May his soul Rest In Peace.”
