Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday led a Federal Government delegation on a condolence visit to the family of the late former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh.
Ogbeh, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) between 2001 and 2005, died last Saturday at 78 years.
Two days after, Shettima described Ogbeh as one of Nigeria’s most visionary leaders whose contributions to food security will remain indelibly etched in the nation’s development history.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
“We are here at the behest of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to convey our heartfelt condolences to the family, the government, and people of Benue State over the sad demise of our elder statesman, Chief Audu Ogbeh,” Shettima said.
