"I am personally pained by the loss of my very Dear Uncle, Chief Sylvester Nwobu Alor. Even though he was well advanced in age, his passing is still a huge loss of a respected, celebrated, and explored life.
"Chief Nwobu Alor was not just an uncle, he was a huge mentor and father figure in my political life. I highly valued his wise counsel.
"His grasp of the inner workings of Nigerian politics was profound. In very self-effacing ways, he cherished his role as an adviser who always stayed in the background. He will be sorely missed."
