False reports regarding the death of former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, have been firmly rejected by his family and representatives. The misinformation surfaced on social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp on June 26, causing significant worry among the public and political figures in the region.
Henry Unini, a media aide to the former governor, officially clarified that Dr. Uduaghan is alive. Unini criticized the lack of verification behind the rumors, questioning the motives of those who would circulate such sensitive news without proper confirmation. He drew a parallel to the historical instance where the late Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe had to address false reports of his own passing.
Unini confirmed that while the former governor has been dealing with health challenges, he is currently undergoing medical treatment and is on the path to recovery. He emphasized that there is no reason for public concern. Furthermore, he thanked the community for their support and prayers while urging individuals to avoid spreading unverified information.
