Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has reacted to the death of his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, Sunday Kotor, describing the incident as a significant loss to the state administration.

Kotor reportedly collapsed on Friday evening, March 20, at a private event. He was taken to a medical facility shortly after but was confirmed dead despite efforts to revive him.

In a statement released through the Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon, the governor acknowledged Kotor’s service and role within the government. He noted that the late aide carried out his responsibilities with consistency and commitment, adding that his death affects both the administration and his immediate family.

The governor extended condolences to members of Kotor’s family, including his brother, Conference Kotor, who also works within the state government.
