The statement, which was signed the President’s media aide, Mr Femi Adesina, recalled that David-West was an academic and author of many books.
“He commiserates with the David-West family, the people of Buguma, Kalabari Kingdom of Rivers State, the academia, and all those who loved ‘the forthright Tam David-West.’
