The governor in a condolence message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, also condoled with Mrs. Ewhrudjakpo and her family.


He said Madam Tasie would be fondly remembered as a devoted member of the Anglican Communion, who impacted her community in many positive ways. 


He prayed God to grant the families the fortitude to bear the loss of such a great woman, who provided succour for widows.


The late Mrs Tasie was a member of the New Generation Faith Anglican Church of the Port Harcourt West Archdeaconry. 



She contributed to development of the church in several ways, especially as a member of the Widows Fellowship.


She also served as secretary of a socio-cultural organisation in Ibaa community, which encourages the growth of education and acquisition of entrepreneurial skills, especially by females.
