Ex-Delta Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan Is Dead by InfoGuru118(op): 1:30pm On Oct 19

A former Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan is dead.

He died after a brief illness at the age of 71.

The Uduaghan family announced his death in a statement signed by Toju Andre Uduaghan, on Monday.

The statement, titled, 'ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PASSING OF HIS EXCELLENCY, DR. CHIEF EMMANUEL EWETA UDUAGHAN', read:

"It is with hearts weighed down by immeasurable grief and profound sorrow that we announce the passing to glory of our beloved Father, Brother, Uncle, and Patriarch, His Excellency, Dr. Chief Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, former Governor of Delta State, who departed this world on the morning of 19th October 2026.

"His passing has left us devastated. Words can hardly express the depth of our sorrow at the loss of a man who meant so much to our family and whose life and service touched countless others across Delta State and Nigeria.

"He was a source of strength, a father figure, a beloved brother and uncle, and a respected elder. We will deeply miss his presence and forever cherish the memories and legacy he leaves behind.

"He served as Commissioner for Health from 1999 to 2003, Secretary to the Delta State Government from 2003 to 2007, and Governor of Delta State from 2007 to 2015. Throughout his years in public service, he demonstrated a commitment to the human and infrastructural development of Delta State.

"His passing is a profound loss to our family, the people of Delta State, and Nigeria at large. We are grateful to Almighty God for his life, his service, and the legacy he leaves behind.

"We pray that Almighty God, in His infinite mercy, will grant his soul eternal rest and comfort our family, friends, associates, former colleagues, and all who mourn this painful loss.

"Rest well, our beloved Father, Brother, and Uncle. Your memory will forever remain in our hearts, and your legacy will endure in the lives of those you touched.

"May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen."

He lived a full life. May his soul rest in peace.

I guess he is with his maker now, and he can happily give account for his life on earth.

Every soul shall taste death but unfortunately, our politicians don't seem to reason that way.

If only they realize death is no respecter of anyone, they will invest the privilege they have to write their names in gold.

Now he has parted completely with whoever or whatever he left behind.

That man was ill for a long time that it was evident in his last photo that surfaced online, yet even in death they choose to lie and say brief illness.

Rest in peace Sir,
In rest you will feel no more pain and sorrow.
May God comfort his family, friends and loved ones he left behind.

He touched so many lives from his time as a private doctor to his stint in government, subsidized public transport, reconstructed every public primary and secondary school in the state, constructed the Asaba airport and many more. May God forgive his shortcomings and grant his soul eternal bliss in the blessed name of Jesus Christ, amen.

All of us will die one day. The only thing you will be remembered for is your impact.

As it is now for Governor Uduaghan, all bank balances, properties home and abroad, all gone.

The only thing remaining is his impact.

May death teach us all to live a righteous life... 🙏
