The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed grief over the death of former Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, describing his contributions to dialogue, national unity and public service as significant.

CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, conveyed the association’s condolences to Uduaghan’s family, the Delta State Government and people, as well as others mourning the former governor.

He said the former governor’s commitment to preserving national unity deserved commendation, adding that his death was a loss to his family and those who valued his contributions to public service and nation-building.

“His commitment to dialogue, confidence-building and the preservation of national unity remains worthy of commendation,” the CAN president said.

Okoh prayed that God would comfort the bereaved family and others affected by the loss, while granting the deceased eternal rest.

“May God comfort them in this difficult moment,” he said.
