Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, the former Governor of Delta State, has died at the age of 71 on Monday, October 19, 2026. His passing has prompted widespread mourning and tributes from prominent Nigerian political figures, including President Bola Tinubu, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and various senators and leaders.
President Tinubu praised the late former governor as a dedicated public servant who committed his leadership to the development of Delta State and service to Nigeria as a whole. Concurrently, Governor Oborevwori and other regional leaders, such as Itsekiri leaders and federal lawmakers, remembered Uduaghan as a detribalised leader whose contributions to the state will endure.
