The remains of former Delta State governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, arrived in the state yesterday, as Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his wife, Tobore Oborevwori, joined members of the late governor’s family to receive them at Osubi Airport, Okpe Local Government Area of the state.
Oborevwori and his wife later visited the family at the deceased’s residence in Warri, where they commiserated with his widow, Deaconess Roli Uduaghan.
The governor described the late Uduaghan as his boss, recalling the political support he received from him and his appointment as one of his special advisers in 2007.
Meanwhile, tributes have continued to pour in for the former governor, with the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi; Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr. Chiedu Ebie; former Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki; and NDC governorship candidate, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, acknowledging his contributions to public service and Delta State’s development.
The deceased governed Delta State from 2007 to 2015, and also served as commissioner for health and secretary to the state government during the administration of former Governor James Ibori.
