My father did his best for Delta says Orode, Uduaghan’s daughter

Orode Uduaghan, daughter of the immediate past governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, says many Nigerians don’t know his father loves to pray.

She also says his father cooks better than most chefs saying that the former did his best to move Delta State forwards despite claims in many quarters.

Orode stated this in an Interview exclusively published in today’s Sunday PUNCH.

When asked the seven things Nigerians don’t know about her father, she said, “He prays a lot. He enjoys spending time with his family. He speaks two languages. He enjoys travelling. He cooks better than most chefs. He swims like a champion and he has a thing for bread.”

When asked on her assessment of her father’s performance, she said, “He did his best. There was room for more and better improvement. But again, he did what he could. I really do not enjoy talking about his work or politics so I will leave it at that.”

Orode added that just like her father, she would join politics in the nearest future.

According to her, “My dad has been a blessing to lots of people and every now and then, I get random favours because of this even till tomorrow, in the strange places too.

“I was recently approached by a lady in a store where I was buying materials in Warri and she kept going on about how awesome my dad was to her and how he saved her from starving. To be honest, the open doors come more from the grass-roots than in the high places you’d expect.”

Although she said she felt relieved when her father was leaving as governor, she added that she would give her father 100 per cent support if he decides to run for any elective position.

“He supports my dreams and everything I do, and if he wakes up tomorrow and wants to be in politics again, he has my full support and prayers. At least, I am older and wiser now so is my entire family and with God’s help, he won’t fail. My dad knows I would do anything to protect and support him.”
