The Executive Chairman, Delta State Internal Revenue Service (DSIRS) and National Chairman of OSU Political Forum, Hon. Chief Solomon Ighrakpata, has expressed deep shock and sadness over the passing of former Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan.
In a condolence message, Ighrakpata described the death as a monumental loss not only to the Uduaghan's family of Warri North but to Delta State and Nigeria at large.
He described the late former Governor as a distinguished medical doctor turned politician, a statesman, and a patriotic Deltan who dedicated his life to the human and infrastructural development of Delta State.
Ighrakpata recalled that Dr. Uduaghan served meritoriously as Commissioner for Health from 1999 to 2003 and Secretary to the State Government from 2003 to 2007 before becoming Governor.
"Dr. Uduaghan was a source of strength, a father figure, and a respected elder whose legacies in the health sector and governance will remain indelible. His passing has left a vacuum that will be difficult to fill," Ighrakpata said.
He urged the family, the people of Warri North, and Deltans in general to take solace in the fact that the deceased lived a fulfilled life worthy of emulation.
He prayed for the peaceful repose of his soul and asked God to grant his wife, Her Excellency Mrs. Roli Uduaghan, the entire Uduaghan family, friends, associates, and the people of Delta State the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
