President Bola Tinubu has joined other Nigerians to  mourn the passing of Dr Cairo Ojougboh, a former Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Executive Director.

A statement by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Thursday, said that Ojougboh died on Wednesday.

Ngelale said that Ojougboh was a member of the House of Representatives (2003-2007) and a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta.

Ojougboh slumped, and died while watching the semi-final match between the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana of South Africa.

The Presidential aide said that Tinubu condoles with the Ojougboh family and the government and people of Delta over this tragic loss.

He said Tinubu  prayed for the repose of the departed, and called on the family to find strength in God as well as in the cherished memories and legacy of the late .

Some other Nigerians had sent across their condolences describing his demise as shocking.

While some argued that his slump may not be related to the football match, others said the suspense the match created was enough to make any person with pre-existing health challenge like High blood pressure to drop dead.
