Sunday, March, 21 2026 - Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has expressed deep sorrow over the death of his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, Sunday Kotor, describing it as a painful loss to the government and people of Delta State.
Kotor reportedly died after collapsing at a private event on
Friday evening, March 20. He was rushed to a medical facility but could not be
revived and was later confirmed dead.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus
Ahon, the governor paid tribute to the late aide’s dedication and service.
“Late Sunday Kotor was wholly dedicated to his job. His
passing is a huge loss, not only to his family but to the government and people
of Delta State,” the statement read. Oborevwori extended condolences to Kotor’s
family, including his younger brother, Conference Kotor, who also serves in the
administration.
Kotor was widely known within Government House in Asaba for
his role in protocol and event coordination, having served as a Master of
Ceremonies across multiple administrations, including those of former governors
Emmanuel Uduaghan and Ifeanyi Okowa. A graduate of Mass Communication from
Delta State University, Abraka, he hailed from Okwagbe in Ughelli South Local
Government Area.
His sudden death has prompted an outpouring of grief among
colleagues and associates, many of whom described him as a vibrant and
dedicated public servant whose contributions to state functions will be greatly
missed.
