Kokori’s death is coming barely one month after crying out from his hospital bed that he had been neglected and abandoned to die despite his huge contribution to the democratic growth of the country.

The Octogenarian has been in sick bed at Mount Horeb Clinic, Warri, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, over a kidney-related ailment since early November.

Until his death, Kokori was a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.
