Oborevwori in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, lamented that his death is a significant loss to Delta State and Nigeria as a whole.
He described the late Ojei as an outstanding entrepreneur, visionary leader and committed Deltan whose contributions to business development, job creation and philanthropy left an enduring legacy in the state and Nigeria at large.
The Governor said Chief Ojei’s death was a huge loss not only to his family and Issele-Uku community but also to the entire Delta State and Nigeria as a whole, noting that his life exemplified hard work, innovation and service to humanity.
