A statement signed by Sylva’s Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Chief Julius Bokoru, said the Bayelsa APC Chairman, Chief Dennis Otiotio, and Amb. Philip Ikurusi was among the APC leaders on the delegation that visited the Clark family.
Others who followed Sylva to the condolence visit were members of the APC State Assembly Caucus and Bayelsa APC appointees of the Federal Government.
