The former NDDC Executive Director slumped and died while watching the Super Eagles match against South Africa in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nation, AFCON, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ojuogboh was a member of the House of Representatives (2003-2007) and a leader of the APC in Delta State.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Atiku wrote: \u201cThe sudden passing of my close friend, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, deeply saddens me. His love for our country was profound.<\/p>\n

\u201cCairo was a shining example of patriotism; his dedication to Nigeria was unwavering, and his departure is a personal loss that leaves a void in my heart. As we mourn, let us remember the passion and zeal for Nigeria that defined his life. May his soul rest in perfect peace. -AA\u201d<\/p>\n
