Okopido died in the early hours of Wednesday at the Ibom Multispecialty Hospital (IBH), Uyo, the state capital.

Nabena said the party has “lost a fine gentleman and grassroots politician who was at the forefront of mainstreaming the APC as the party of choice in Akwa Ibom State.”

According to him, the late Okopido was a stabilising force who provided a listening ear to all party supporters, members, leaders and other stakeholders not only in Akwa Ibom State, but in the South South and national level of the party.

The APC spokesman said “He will be sorely missed.
