Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has mourned the passing of his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, Sunday Kotor, calling it a painful loss to both the government and people of Delta State.
Kotor reportedly d!ed after collapsing at a private event on Friday evening, March 20. He was rushed to a medical facility but could not be revived and was later confirmed de@d.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon, the governor paid tribute to the late aide’s dedication and service.
“Late Sunday Kotor was wholly dedicated to his job. His passing is a huge loss, not only to his family but to the government and people of Delta State,” the statement read. Oborevwori extended condolences to Kotor’s family, including his younger brother, Conference Kotor, who also serves in the administration.
Kotor was widely known within Government House in Asaba for his role in protocol and event coordination, having served as a Master of Ceremonies across multiple administrations, including those of former governors Emmanuel Uduaghan and Ifeanyi Okowa. A graduate of Mass Communication from Delta State University, Abraka, he hailed from Okwagbe in Ughelli South Local Government Area.
His sudden de@th has prompted an outpouring of grief among colleagues and associates, many of whom described him as a vibrant and dedicated public servant whose contributions to state functions will be greatly missed.
