A former governor of the defunct Midwest region and old Bendel State, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, has reportedly died at 84.
Ogbemudia reportedly passed away in the late hours of Thursday in Lagos.
A source close to the family, who did not want to be mentioned, confirmed the development on Friday morning.
“We have to get in touch with the family first. It is confirmed. It happened last night,” the source said.
An unconfirmed source also said that the former member of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees had suffered from diabetes.
As a former military governor, he was instrumental to the establishment of several government institutions, including the University of Benin and the state civil service secretariat.
He was also an elder statesman.
