President Bola Tinubu has mourned the passing of Dr Cairo Ojougboh, a former Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Executive Director.

A statement by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Thursday, said that Ojougboh died on Wednesday.

Ngelale said that Ojougboh was a member of the House of Representatives (2003-2007) and a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the deceased slumped, and died while watching the semifinal match between the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana of South Africa.

The Presidential aide said that Tinubu condoles with the Ojougboh family and the government and people of Delta over this tragic loss.

He said Tinubu  prayed for the repose of the departed, and called on the Ojougboh family to find strength in God as well as in the cherished memories and legacy of the late .(NAN)

GWG.ng had earlier reported that the APC chief slumped at the point that the VAR recalled the game between Nigeria and South Africa from the point that Victor Osimhen scored what was supposed to be Nigeria’s second goal and rather awarded a penalty against Nigeria for an infringement committed in the build-up to the aborted goal.

The message from President Tinubu to Dr Ojougboh serves as a message of solidarity to the family of a deceased political associate who was with him in the All Progressives Congress, APC.
