She performed so well that it attracted several appointments in apex institutions over the years until she joined politics as a legislator, where she offered quality representation to her people, as a devout Catholic, Dr Rose Oko lived a life in service to God and humanity. She was an excellent mother, sister, and friend to many across the Nigerian landscape. She was indeed a model, mentor and benefactor to several persons who would surely miss her, therefore on behalf of the good people of Cross River State Central Senatorial District, my family l commiserated with the family of late Sen Dr. Rose Okoji Oko at this trying moment in their lives and prayed that God gives them the fortitude to bear the huge lose.
