President Bola Tinubu has paid tribute to former Minister of Agriculture and ex-Peoples Democratic Party National Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, hailing him as “a patriot who believed deeply in the nation’s potential.”
Ogbeh’s family had earlier on Saturday announced his death in a statement.
In a condolence message issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described the late politician as “always ready with facts and figures to support his propositions” and “a man of strong convictions who spoke the truth as he saw it.”
“Chief Ogbeh joined politics in the 70s as a legislator. He was an accomplished farmer, a seasoned administrator, and a man who believed deeply in Nigeria’s potential. The nation will sorely miss his insightful perspectives and wealth of experience,” Tinubu stated.
He added that Ogbeh’s contributions to Nigeria’s agricultural development, political stability, and democratic growth “will remain indelible in the country’s history.”
The President extended condolences to the government and people of Benue State, as well as Ogbeh’s family, friends, and associates, praying “the Almighty God will receive his soul and comfort his family at this difficult time.”
