Kokori died on Thursday in a hospital in Warri, Delta State.
His death was disclosed by his Personal Assistant, Atawada Oke.
Over the past few months, the former NUPENG secretary had been battling a kidney-related ailment.
On November 9, Kokori raised an alarm over his health status from his sick bed.
Twenty-four hours later, Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor of Delta, visited the elder statesman at the hospital and promised that the state would provide support for him to get “high-quality medical treatment”.
Kokori played a significant role in the struggle against the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.
He mobilised workers against the annulment of the election and the military junta.
Owing to his activism, he was arrested and detained by the military government.

ReplyDeleteThe last of the strong men. This was one the people who were into activism for altruistic reasons and not the pretenders we have today, who use activism as a spring board for government patronage.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, such selflessness always go unrewarded in Nigeria
