And as confirmation of his prophetic warning, the longest serving monarch, Joseph Davies-Agba, the traditional ruler of Obudu, is dead.
Davies-Agba’s death was announced on Sunday by Kjay Jedy-Agba, his son, in Calabar, Cross River state capital.
The late traditional ruler, who was on the throne for 64 years, is widely regarded as the longest serving monarch in Nigeria.
“It is with a heavy heart that I communicate to you the passing away of my beloved father, His Royal Majesty, Joseph Davies-Agba, OON, the ‘Uti Item III of Utugwang’, Uti Ukani I of Obudu, Paramount Ruler of Obudu Local Government Area and Chancellor of the University of Cross River State,” the statement reads.
Also, General Jones Arogbofa who served as Chief of Staff to former President Goodluck Jonathan, is dead.
He was aged 72.
Arogbofa was said to have died on Saturday, February 10, though the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear as of the time of filing this report.
His family has also not issued any statement on his death at press time.
But the former senator and founder of Silverbird Group, Ben Murray-Bruce, confirmed the news via X on Saturday where he wrote, “I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Brigadier General Jones Oladeinde Arogbofa (Rtd), the former Chief of Staff to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“He was a dear friend. His wisdom, integrity, and dedication to Nigeria will forever be remembered. A true hero has left us, but his legacy endures. Rest in peace, dear friend.”
Arogbofa was born on November 10, 1952 in Oka-Akoko, Ondo State, and served in the military before being appointed as Jonathan’s right-hand man from 2014 to 2015
