In a statement signed by the Chairman of ALGON, Hon. Evbareke Jenkins Osunde and all the  Local Government Chairmen in the state, the late Egor Council boss was credited as a ‘’visionary who projected that local governance must have deep and intimate resonance with the daily aspirations of the people at the grassroots.’’  

                                    
Hon. Victor Enobakhare who died on Monday at the age of 60 had variously served as Councilor before being elected Chairman of the LGA in 2013.

‘’ The former Council Chairman was well admired for his energetic interaction with his constituents in a way that engendered productive communication as envisaged in the best tradition of third-tier Democratic  practice’’, ALGON further stated. 

ALGON prayed that the family of the departed will find solace in the fact that Hon. Enobakhare lived a life of dedicated service to humanity adding that the former Chairman will be long remembered for his endearing leadership qualities.
