Delta State Government has dispelled the death rumour of its former governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan.

This is contained in a statement by Ossai Ovie, media aide to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who said he spoke with the daughter of the ex-governor, Miss Orode Uduaghan and was told that the father is alive.

His statement titled: “Former governor uduaghan is alive – death rumor false

I have just seen reports circulating online claiming that the former Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, is dead. Some people have been reaching out to me asking ‘Ossai Ovie Success is the news real’.

“I immediately reached out to his family to confirm. I spoke directly with his daughter, Orode Uduaghan on the phone, and she confirmed that the news is false. Dr Uduaghan is alive. I am disappointed at those who spread such false information without verification,” the governor’s aide said.

He urged the public to disregard the rumour and avoid sharing unverified information.
