His gentle character, analytical mind, and distinctive wit earned him the respect and admiration of political leaders, community stalwarts, and ordinary citizens across the state. He was a leader who combined firmness with humility, and intelligence with integrity, qualities that defined his approach to governance and public service.
Chief Inko emphasized that Senator Ewhrudjakpo played a vital role in shaping the political, social, and infrastructural development of Bayelsa State. From his days as a legislator to his tenure as Deputy Governor, he consistently championed policies and initiatives that prioritized community welfare, educational improvement, and sustainable development. His commitment to the growth of the state and the upliftment of its people remains an enduring legacy that will continue to speak long after his passing.
