– Tinubu Mourns

It is with a heavy heart that President Bola Tinubu has received the news of the passing of Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, a former Executive Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), who died on Wednesday night.

A family source, who confirmed his death, said he slumped in his Abuja office while watching the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final match between Nigeria and South Africa on Wednesday, February 7, 2024.

Dr. Ojougboh was a member of the House of Representatives (2003-2007) and a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.

President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, on Thursday, February 8, condoled with the Ojougboh family and the government and people of Delta State over the tragic loss.

While praying for the peaceful repose of the departed, President Tinubu comforted his family and urged 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.
