 Members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday praise the exemplary attributes of their late colleague Honourable O.C. Prestige, representing Abba North and Abba South of Abba State. The lawmaker passed away early in the year after a protracted illness. It was a gloomy atmosphere at the Chamber of the House of Representatives as members took turns to eulogize the sterling qualities of late O.C. Prestige. The late lawmaker's family members and constituents were also at the Chamber. He lived larger than life itself. These are the things I want to remember. These are the things I want to hold on to. O.C. Prestige, that life. O.C. Prestige pleaded with death for him to live. He told me that he cannot withstand leaving his wife and his children. O.C. Prestige made everything possible to see that he survived the sickness. Each and every one of us on the floor of this house today lost a friend. We have lost a friend collectively. We have lost a friend individually and this institution has actually lost a friend. There is a very big vacuum. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how we are going to feel that vacuum. He is indeed a great man because I was with him in Abriban, the small one down, and he is a man that is loved by all, all over the country. I am sure the people of Aba have missed a great leader. It was a really glum scene as the cops were taking out of the National Assembly to eat final resting please.
