Speaking with Nigerian Tribune on the death, the National President of the Forum, Dr. Bitrus Pogu said the late Obadiah will be greatly missed by every Nigerian that cherished justice and abhorred injustice.

He said that the deceased dedicated his life to humanity, adding that he was one of the formidable voices in the Middle Belt and Nigeria.

“When it comes to fighting for justice, the late Dr. Obadiah cannot be intimidated. He was a symbol of justice, equity and fairness. He lived a selfless life that cannot be forgotten in a hurry. He is a great nationalist, passionate leader and champion of a true Nigeria that would work for every citizen.”
