BREAKING: Former PDP National Chairman, Audu Ogbeh Is Dead [PHOTO]

 

Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Minister, Chief Audu Innocent Ogbeh, died on Saturday at the age of 78.

 

The Ogbeh family confirmed his death in a heartfelt statement, describing him as a man who left an enduring legacy of integrity, service, and dedication to the nation and its communities.

 

“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Chief Audu Ogbeh,” the family’s statement read.

 

“He passed away on the 9th of August 2025 at the fulfilled age of 78.”

 

The family expressed solace in the many lives he touched and the example he set, while requesting privacy as they grieve the loss of their patriarch.

 

Details of funeral arrangements are to be announced later.

 

Born on July 28, 1947, in Otukpo, Benue State, Chief Ogbeh’s illustrious career spanned academia, agriculture, and politics.

 

A graduate of King’s College, Lagos, Ahmadu Bello University, and the University of Toulouse, France, he began as a lecturer before venturing into politics.

 

He served as deputy speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly from 1979 to 1982 and held ministerial roles under Presidents Shehu Shagari and Muhammadu Buhari, including Minister of Communications (1982–1983), Minister of Steel Development (1983), and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (2015–2019).

As a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from 2001 to 2005, Ogbeh was known for his principled stance, notably resigning due to disagreements over political crises during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure.

 

Later, as a key figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), he championed agricultural reforms, focusing on food security and rural development, earning recognition for his deep knowledge and commitment.

 

Beyond politics, Ogbeh was a farmer, playwright, and community leader. He managed Efugo Farms in Makurdi and authored several plays, including The Belated Bridegroom and Epitaph for Simon Kisulu, which was staged at the Muson Centre in 2002. His contributions earned him traditional titles like Ochagwu Idomaland and Oka Ome of Iseagu.

 

The family expressed gratitude for the support from friends, colleagues, and well-wishers, asking for prayers as they navigate this loss.

Chief Ogbeh’s passing marks the end of an era for Nigerian politics and agriculture, but his legacy of principled leadership endures.
