Comr. Ovuozourie Macaulay, former Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG) has commiserated with Dr. Emmanuel Uduagha, immediate past Governor of the State over the demise of his father-in-law, Brig. – Gen. Sunny Esijolomi Tuoyo(rtd).
Tuoyo, a former Military Administrator of old Ondo State during the military era, passed on in Lagos at the age of 84. He was the father of Uduaghan’s wife, Roli.
In a condolence message issued in Asaba, Macaulay noted that the passing of Pa Tuoyo was a great loss to the two families of Uduaghan and Tuoyo as well as the Itsekiri nation and the military.
Besides, he said that as a professional soldier who rose to the top rank Level, Gen. Tuoyo contributed his quota to the feats attained by the Nigerian military and in turn the growth and development of the country.
The former SSG acknowledged that the deceased raised a decent family including a former first lady of the State.
According to Comr. Macaulay, “t Octoberhough it is painful to lose a loved one, the family should rejoice over the fact that he lived a fulfilled life having made it to the top echelon of his chosen career, the military as well as emerge the Governor of a State.”
Comr. Macaulay prayed God Almighty to grant the departed soul eternal rest as well as give the children, the Uduaghans, the Tuoyos, the Itsekiri nation and the military thehe fortitude to bear the great loss.
