THE Nigeria Governors' Forum, NGF, has described the death of Senator Pius Ewherido, Delta Central as a monumental loss to our country, Nigeria.
.
NGF chairman and Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, said in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, yesterday, that the demise of Ewherido was both painful and shocking.
.
Amaechi said: "We hereby condole with the Nigerian Senate, the government and people of Delta State and the entire Ewherido family over the sudden death of Senator Pius Ewherido, who, until his death, represented Delta Central Senatorial District on the platform of the Democratic People's Party (DPP).

It is unfortunate that the hardworking, independent- minded senator, a political icon, and one of the most accomplished politicians in our country passed on at a time our country needed his invaluable service most.

His loss is no doubt a monumental loss to our nation.
