The Itsekiri Leaders of Thought (ILOT) mourn the passing of former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan, describing it as an unexpected tragedy. In a statement, ILOT conveyed its deepest sympathies to Uduaghan's family, the Itsekiri Nation, the Delta State Government, and all Nigerians affected by his loss. The organization's Chairman, Chief Edward Ekpoko, and Secretary, Sir Amorighoye Sunny Mene, highlighted that Uduaghan had passed away just three days before his 72nd birthday.

The group expressed hope that the bereaved family and the wider Itsekiri Nation could find solace in the knowledge that Uduaghan led a life of accomplishment as both a professional and politician. ILOT further called upon all government entities, from local to national levels, to embrace and foster the principles of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect among individuals of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.

These values, they noted, were central to Uduaghan's conduct in public life and should receive greater emphasis during a pivotal moment in Nigeria's history, when unity and understanding are essential for the nation's stability and advancement.
