The
Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has expressed deep
shock and grief over the death of Mr. Anthony Chucks Obuh, a one-time leading governorship
aspirant in Delta State.
Senator
Omo-Agege recalled that Mr. Obuh was a consummate bureaucrat in the Delta State
Civil Service and served as Permanent Secretary in charge of his Office in
2007, as the Secretary to the Delta State Government.
In
a statement signed personally by Senator Omo-Agege, the DSP noted that “Mr.
Obuh was a thoroughly fine gentleman, friend and brother. He was a thoroughbred
technocrat and a peaceful politician, committed to excellence in public
governance.
“I
am saddened by the news of Mr. Tony Obuh’s reported demise. He was a very
knowledgeable bureaucrat who had a full and unique grasp of the finest details of
the workings of public governance in our state.
"As
SSG in 2007, Mr. Obuh was the Permanent Secretary in charge of my Office. He
was, without question, one of our finest public management technocrats in my
time as SSG, and even thereafter. Mr. Obuh helped our State to make remarkable
positive governance impacts".
The
DSP extended his heartfelt condolences to Obuh’s family and friends whilst
enjoining Deltans to remember them in their prayers at this very trying moment
of losing such an illustrious Deltan.
Signed:
Yomi
Odunuga,
