Prominent Rivers son and seasoned administrator, Dr Dakuku Peterside says the death of Special Adviser to Governor Wike on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu is a huge loss to the media industry, Governor Wike and his family.
Dr Peterside expressed shock over Nwakaudu’s death, saying it has created a vacuum in Wike’s administration especially as all hands are required on deck to battle the Coronavirus pandemic and beyond.
He described the deceased as being very loyal to his principal and passionate about his responsibilities.
The immediate past Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) said Governor Wike has lost a trusted ally and staff, who was a gentleman and professional in his carriage.
He prayed God to grant the deceased family the fortitude and perseverance to bear such a big loss at a time when his fatherly disposition and admonitions were most needed.
“I may have on a couple occasions disagreed with the principles and politics of his Principal but I have my greatest for him as a thoroughbred professional.
“Let me expresses my deepest condolences to Governor Wike over this sad loss. He has lost a good ally and I pray for God’s grace and guidance over the wife and children he left behind,” he stressed.
