President Bola Tinubu has received the news of the demise of former Secretary-General of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Comrade Frank Kokori, with deepest sympathies.
The late elder statesman was a foremost figure in the June 12 struggle.
The President, in a release issued on Thursday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, condoled with Kokori family, the civil society, the government, and the people of Delta state over the deeply painful loss.
President Tinubu described the former labour leader as a man of conscience; highly principled, courageous, and true.
According to him: “Frank Kokori was a thoroughbred democrat and activist. He fought for democracy at a great personal cost. He surrendered his liberty to fight for truth and justice. He was the finest among reformers and champions of civil rights in Nigeria.
“He was a brother in the June 12 struggle. He was uncompromising, unbending, and irrepressible. He was an exemplary comrade”.
The President while praying for the repose of the soul of the deceased, encouraged those he left behind to take comfort in his peerless legacy.
