THE Delta State Government has earmarked three days of mourning in honour of former Governor Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, who died in the early hours of Monday, 19 October 2026, at the age of 71.
The mourning period takes effect from Monday, 19 October, just three days before the former governor would have turned 72.
As part of the measures to honour him, the incumbent governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has directed that all flags on public buildings across the state be flown at half-mast throughout the three-day mourning period.
The directive was contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kingsley Emu.
The declaration is a mark of respect for Uduaghan, who governed Delta State from 2007 to 2015.
