South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, also revealed the deceased was one of the people who took it upon themselves to tutor him in the 7th Parliament.
One of the few men who took it upon themselves to tutor me in the ways of House & the rudiments of law making and the mechanics of legislative drafting in the 7th Parliament. You were such an outstanding Parliamentarian.
