President Bola Tinubu has acknowledged the intellectual contributions of late Chief Audu Ogbeh to policy formulation and his articulation of practical solutions to complex national challenge.
This was contained in a condolence statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy on the death of the former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
President Tinubu also commiserated with the Government and people of Benue, the late statesman’s family, friends and associates.
Chief Ogbeh, who was 78 years old, served Nigeria in several administrations, including as Minister of Communications in the Second Republic and later as Minister of Agriculture under President Muhammadu Buhari.
The President believes Chief Ogbeh,
who joined politics in the 70s as a Legislator, was a founding member of the All Progressives Congress.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu noted that “Chief Audu Ogbeh was a patriot whose wisdom, dedication, and pursuit of progress left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s political landscape.
“He was always ready with facts and figures to support his propositions. The nation will sorely miss his insightful perspectives and wealth of experience.”
The President prays that the Almighty God will receive the departed’s soul, and comfort his family.
