Bayelsa lawmaker passes on @59

A member of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Mr. Obedient Emoto, has passed on at the age of 59.

Emoto, who represented Ogbia Constituency II in Ogbia Local Government Area, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, following health complications.

His friend of over two decades and former Acting Governor of the state, Chief Nestor Binabo, confirmed the development. Binabo, who described Emoto’s death as tragic and devastating, said the late lawmaker was a man of exemplary character.

Emoto, who was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, lost a second term ticket in controversial circumstances last year.

His friends also said the late lawmaker who hailed from Ologi community in Ogbia, had outstanding leadership qualities.
