A release by Dr. Uduaghan’s Media Aid, Monoyo Edon which made the announcement, said Papa would be remembered as the father of the former Governor’s wife, Mrs. Roli Uduaghan and his demonstration of patriotism in virtually all his engagement in governance.

“Our prayers are with both families as we ask God to grant them strength to go through this difficult period.
“May Papa’s soul find repose in the bosom of our Lord…Amen!”, the statement added
