President Bola Tinubu has mourned former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, who died at the age of 71.

In a condolence message on Monday, President Tinubu described the late Uduaghan as a public servant whose leadership was devoted to the development of Delta State and service to the nation.

The President noted that the former governor served as Commissioner for Health and Secretary to the State Government before being elected governor in 2007, a position he held for two terms until 2015.

He said Dr. Uduaghan pursued initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, healthcare delivery and the welfare of the people of Delta State.

According to President Tinubu, the former governor remained active in the state’s political and socio-economic landscape after leaving office, contributing to democratic governance and public service.

The President extended his condolences to Uduaghan’s widow, Deaconess Roli Uduaghan, his children, his cousin and former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, as well as friends, political associates and the people of Delta State.
