Speaking on behalf of Governor Zulum at the burial, Tarpaya Asarya, leader of the delegation and Hon. Commissioner of Trade, Tourism and Investments, described Kester as a perfect gentleman, loyal, hard-working, and a dependable bridge builder between the government and the non-indigene community in Borno State.
Meanwhile, the delegation stopped in Abuja on their way back from Anambra State to also convey their condolences to Vice President Kashim Shettima over the demise of Kester, whom he had mentored, and the loss of his mother-in-law.
