President Bola Tinubu expressed his condolences following the death of Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, former Governor of Delta State, who passed away on the morning of October 19, 2026, at the age of 71. The Uduaghan family announced his death through a statement by Toju Anire Uduaghan, describing it as a profound loss to the family, Delta State, and Nigeria.
Uduaghan served as Commissioner for Health and Secretary to the State Government before being elected Governor of Delta State in 2007, a position he held until 2015. His tenure focused on improving infrastructure, healthcare delivery, and the welfare of Deltans.
After leaving office, Uduaghan remained influential in Delta State's political and socio-economic landscape. In honor of his contributions, the Delta State Government declared three days of mourning starting from October 19.
Tinubu extended his sympathies to Uduaghan's wife, children, cousin James Ibori, and all who mourn his loss.
