Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former governors James Ibori and Ifeanyi Okowa, ex-Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege, and other dignitaries attended the funeral of former Deputy Governor Sir Benjamin Elue yesterday. The burial service took place at All Saints' Anglican Church in Warri. A large crowd of mourners, including political figures and community leaders, gathered to honor Elue's memory. The event marked a rare moment of convergence for key political figures from different administrations in the state.
It is striking that Oborevwori, Ibori, and Okowa all appeared at Elue's funeral, given their often divergent political paths. Their shared presence does not erase the unresolved questions around Delta State's leadership transitions in recent years. Nigerians who lived through those turbulent periods may wonder what unity truly looks like beyond ceremonial appearances. The gathering offers no answers, only the image of politicians united in death, not in governance.
