Ex-Gov Uduaghan Is Alive,” Says Delta Govt

The Delta State Government has dismissed viral reports claiming that former Governor of the state, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, is dead, describing the claim as false and misleading.

According to Ireporter Online, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Ossai Ovie Success, debunked the rumour in a statement shared on his Facebook page, where he clarified that he personally verified the former governor’s status with his family.

He explained that after seeing the circulating reports online, he contacted members of Uduaghan’s family for confirmation and spoke directly with his daughter, Orode Uduaghan, who confirmed that her father is alive and in good health.

The governor’s aide condemned the spread of the false report, describing it as irresponsible and hurtful to both the family and the people of Delta State. He stressed that misinformation of such nature causes unnecessary panic and emotional distress.

He further urged members of the public to disregard the rumour and avoid sharing unverified information on social media, reiterating that the former governor is alive and well.
