Kive Kokori, the son of the former General Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, Frank Kokori had paid a tribute to the deceased.
Gatekeepers News reports that Frank Kokori died at around 1:30am today, December 7, a day that doubles as his birthdate. He was 80 years old.
Kive in a statement said, “Chief Frank Kokori was one of the arrowheads of the June 12 struggle and the enthronement of democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria. He was a labour leader per excellence, chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and an Elder statesman. His love for Nigeria was unparalleled.
“Daddy as I and others fondly call him was a man of justice, principled, dogged, and a lover of human rights and justice for all.”
He added “He may not have been accorded the level of accolades that he deserved during his life time but I pray that in death he gets all the accolades he deserved for the sacrifices he made for Nigeria and Nigerians.
“I celebrate you on behalf of the family, Delta State and Nigeria.
“Adieu Daddy.”
