President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has charged the family of the late Chief Audu Ogbeh to emulate all the outstanding qualities that stood the late politician out as an exceptional statesman who served the nation diligently.
Tinubu, who spoke through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, during the burial ceremonies in Otukpa, Benue State, on Friday, listed such qualities to include his humility, compassion, unifying personality, leadership with integrity and service to nationhood.
Reading from a testimonial entitled: “Contributions of Chief Audu Ogbeh to the political development of Nigeria”, the president noted that though his death has left a void in the political calculus of Nigeria, the legacies he left behind would never be forgotten.
He said: “We equally remember him for his humility, compassion and generosity. He was a unifying personality who bridged divides and brought people together. His impact on Nigerian politics and society will be felt for generations to come.
“As we reflect on his life and legacies, we are reminded of the importance of leadership, integrity and service. May we strive to emulate his example and continue his work towards building a better Nigeria.”
President Tinubu said that it was his belief that Ogbeh’s legacies would inspire future generations to attain greater heights.
“Chief Audu Ogbeh played significant roles in Nigerian politics, particularly in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Ogbeh was a founding member of the PDP and contributed significantly to Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.”
