President Bola Tinubu has joined Nigerians to mourn the former NDDC executive director, Cairo Ojougboh.
Ojougbo, an APC stalwart, reportedly gave up the ghost immediately South Africa equalised with Nigeria through a penalty. He was said to be watching the match with keen interest.
According to presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelali, “It is with a heavy heart that President Bola Tinubu receives the news of the passing of Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, former Executive Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), who died on Wednesday.
“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 condoles with the Ojougboh family and the government and people of Delta State over this tragic loss.
“While praying for the peaceful repose of the departed, President Tinubu comforts his family and urges 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.”
