PDP Mourns Former Senate President Joseph Wayas

…Says He Stood for Rule of Law, Equity, True Federalism


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mourns the death of elder statesman and former President of the Senate, Senator Joseph Wayas, describing it as a monumental national loss.


Senator Wayas was a very courageous democrat, an exceptional statesman, who made personal sacrifices in standing for justice, equity, rule of law and true federalism in our country, both as a political leader and a private individual.


As a commissioner in the old southeastern state, member of the Constituent Assembly and later the President of the Senate, Senator Wayas exhibited uncommon patriotism towards the unity, stability and development of our dear country.


The PDP is sad that Senator Wayas left the scene at the time the nation needed his wealth of experience and stabilizing role the most.


Our party commiserates with the Wayas family, the people of South South and the institution of the Senate, and prays God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.


Signed:


Kola Ologbondiyan

National Publicity Secretary
