Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has congratulated former Governor of the state, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, as he clocks 70 years on October 22.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, in Asaba, Governor Oborevwori expressed profound gratitude to God for the life of the former Governor and for granting him many years of great accomplishments.

Oborevwori lauded the former state helmsman for supporting his emergence as Governor of the state.

He extolled Uduaghan for his outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the state and country, stating that some of the iconic projects in the state capital would remain indelible legacies of his stewardship in the state.

Governor Oborevwori described Uduaghan as “a compassionate, detribalised leader and elder statesman of repute”, whose contributions to the growth and development of the state and the country would remain ingrained in historical archives.

He appealed to the elder statesman to continue providing useful advice to the Government and people of the state, and prayed that God Almighty would continue to bless him with good health and long life.

Oborevwori gave special recognition to Uduaghan for the state’s free maternal and under-five health care programmes, which established the national standard.

The Governor said: “On behalf of my family, the Government and people of Delta, I congratulate our dear leader and former Governor, a renowned physician, an astute politician and remarkable statesman, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, on his 70th birth anniversary.

“On this auspicious occasion in your life, I join your family, friends and associates to thank Almighty God for His continued love and goodness to you and to pray for long life, good health and wisdom to keep serving God and humanity”.
