Former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, has described former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Audu Ogbeh, as a genuine politician.
In a post on his official X account, @PeterObi said Ogbeh has demonstrated vision, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment as a Minister of Agriculture of the country.
He said: “I have just received the deeply saddening news of the passing of Chief Audu Ogbeh, a statesman with whom I had the privilege of sharing a close relationship.
“He was one of those rare politicians with whom I could have genuine and insightful discussions about our beloved country, particularly on agriculture, a sector he was deeply passionate about.
“During his tenure as Minister of Agriculture, and in his strategic planning for the North, he demonstrated vision, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to seeing Nigeria feed itself and thrive through sustainable agricultural development.
“Chief Ogbeh carried himself with humility and integrity qualities that earned him respect across political divides. His passing is not only a personal loss to me but also a profound loss to Nigeria.
“May God Almighty, who has called him home, grant him eternal rest in His kingdom and grant his family and all of us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
