His supporters and local leaders also highlighted his involvement in various development projects, saying his influence helped shape the district over the years.
The thanksgiving ceremony brought together local leaders, government officials and residents, many of whom described the naming of the road and district headquarters block as a lasting symbol of appreciation.
