The sudden death of Senator (Chief) Pius Akpo Ewherido representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the Senate after a brief illness Sunday may no longer be news.

But the news now is that his kinsmen in Ewhu Kingdom, where the Senator hailed from, in their wishful thinking jumped into celebration after a brief mourning, following rumour that Ewherido, like Jesus Christ, has risen from Death.

“This is because nobody here ever wished him dead”, a family source told FrontiersNews on Sunday night.

Before the senator died, he had spent three days at the National Hospital, where Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, a medical doctor and other stakeholders including family members gathered daily trying to save the life of the strong Urhobo politician.

Early callers at the National Hospital are Governor Uduaghan who turned the hospital to his home, as he was with him for the three days the deceased spent in hospital.

In fact Uduaghan battled to save the Late Senator’s life but to no avail. Unfortunately, attempt to fly Ewherido Abroad also failed despite several efforts.

FrontiersNews reliably learnt that first, Governor Uduaghan, who incidentally was in Abuja for official engagement; the elder brother of the late Senator, Rev. Fr Ewherido and a businessman from Ughelli South LGA in Delta, Mr Igho Sanomi; as well as the office of the senate president, made several efforts to bring in an Air Ambulance from Germany, Dubai and South Africa but the deceased could not be flown out before he died.

In fact, “the Ambulance from Germany was said to have arrived and left due to delay in documentation. “The ambulance left also because of another airlift of a patient in another country, which it has agreed to pick”, a source said.

The Dubai ambulance didn’t not come at all because it has been fully booked for all the days Senator Ewherido was in the hospital as a patient.

However, the South Africa ambulance was to come but arrived Abuja exactly 30 minutes after Ewherido had passed on. FrontiersNews Correspondent saw the two white medical doctors from South Africa who came with the ambulance at the national hospital insisting that they must see the lifeless body of the patient and a report confirming that he is dead.

As a result, the body of Senator Ewherido could not be deposited in the morgue until moment after the departure of the South Africa team of doctors.

A source close to the Governor said the “Oga is devastated by Ewherido’s death, my brother. Oga has repeated said that since Ewherido left PDP for DPP, the Senator has never attacked or spoken badly about him whether directly or indirectly once. They were good friends until Ewherido died”.

Others, also present are Hon. Emmanuel Agwareavwodo, Hon. Emeyense, Dr Chris Oghenechovwe and the father-in-law of the deceased, Chief Bozimo, who is also former minister of police affairs; as well as Hon. Omonemu, a legislative aid to the late senator, who also witnessed the death.

Meanwhile, the elder brother, Rev. Fr Ewherido has debunked rumours of the “risen from death” of his brother, Late Chief Pius Ewherido, saying that “As a catholic I don’t believe in wishful thinking because we did everything humanly possible to save and revive him, but God know best while we failed”.

A condolence register has being opened in the residence of the late Senator in Abuja, Warri and his home town Ewhu, while the final burial rites are being planned by the family.
