President Bola Tinubu has expressed shock and sadness over the news of the death of Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, former Executive Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Ojuogboh was reported to have died on Wednesday night as he was watching the tension-laden football match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in semifinal duel at the ongoing African Nations Cup tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.
He was a member of the House of Representatives (2003-2007) and a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.
“President Tinubu condoles with the Ojougboh family and the government and people of Delta State over this tragic loss.
“While praying for the peaceful repose of the departed, President Tinubu comforts his family and urges them to find strength and hope in God Almighty, who presides over the affairs of men, as well as in the cherished memories and legacy of the late APC chieftain”, said a press statement issued by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, on Thursday.
