Deji Elumoye in Abuja
President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the government and people of Benue State on the demise of the former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Audu Ogbeh.
The President, in a statement issued on Saturday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, also commiserated with 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.
President Tinubu acknowledged Chief Ogbeh’s intellectual contributions to policy formulation and his articulation of practical solutions to complex national challenges.
The President stressed that Chief Ogbeh,
who joined politics in the 70s as a legislator, was a founding member of the All Progressives Congress.
According to President Tinubu: “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 prayed that the Almighty God will receive the departed’s soul, and comfort his family.
