With a heavy heart, I extend my deepest condolences to the family of the former Deputy Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Chief BSC Elue, on the painful news of his passing this morning.
Chief Elue was a distinguished statesman whose service to Delta State was marked by dedication, wisdom, and an abiding commitment to the growth and unity of our dear State.
