Tributes describe him as a calm, principled, and forward-looking leader whose contributions helped strengthen democratic participation in northern Nigeria.
Political historians note that figures like Obaro were responsible for transforming Ebiraland from a relatively quiet region into an active political force — a legacy that continues under today’s leaders.
The passing of Senator Obaro comes shortly after the death of Hajiya Sutura, the last surviving wife of former President Shehu Shagari.

Her closing sentiment captures the nation’s mood:
“May his legacy continue to speak louder than the silence of the grave.”
