Mr Philip Shaibu, the Edo Deputy Governor, has described the late Prince Tony Momoh as a consummate politician whose impact in the nation’s development won’t be forgotten.
Shuaibu disclosed this in a statement signed by Mr Benjamin Atu, his media aide, on Monday night in Benin.
He stated that the late Momoh, a member of his immediate constituency, was a leading light who charted the course of peace, unity and politics without bitterness.
According to him, the late Momoh consistently maintained his carriage as an elder statesman in the Nigerian political scene.
Shuaibu described him as a doyen of mass communication and one of the last living legends of the journalism profession in Nigeria.
“The entire Afemai community has lost a father, mentor and brother,” Shuaibu said.
Shuaibu described Momoh’s death as “a monumental and an irreplaceable loss”.
Momoh, a Minister of Information under General Ibrahim Babangida, died on Monday.
