Former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, has debunked rumours about his health, stating that he is “hale and hearty”.
Actual News gathered from BIGPEN NIGERIA that contrary to social media post making the round about his health, Dr. Uduaghan is currently on vacation abroad, where he is also undergoing routine medical check-ups.
Sources close to the former governor revealed that he has been busy with political engagements and providing leadership to his party in Delta State, and had decided to take a well-deserved break to relax and recharge.
Dr. Uduaghan, who will be turning 70 in October, had earlier taken to social media to wish the Ologbotsere of Warri, Engr. (Chief) Oma Eyewuoma a happy 80th birthday, putting to rest any concerns about his health.
The rumors about Dr. Uduaghan’s health were described as “stale” and “false”, and were attributed to a poster trying to “trend” by creating confusion.
Monoyo Edon, Uduaghan’s personal media assistant who confirmed that the former governor was alive and well in a terse message to this medium wrote;
“His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON is very hale and hearty.
“Yes, he is abroad on vacation and of course that includes observing some routine medical check ups. Asamaigor will be 70 years in October. The information contained in that post is already stale as Dr. Uduaghan has moved to another location for relaxation. He had an intensely busy quarter in Delta State with lags from politics and providing leadership to our party.
“I had already commented on the post you’re referring to. The poster just wanted to trend by creating an air of confusion but I am glad a lot of his readers already know his antics.
“Coincidentally, within an hour of that false alarm post, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan even made a social media post this morning where he wished the Ologbotsere of Warri, Engr. (Chief) Oma Eyewuoma a happy 80th birthday”.
