President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Terry O. Okorodudu, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, who passed away on September 9 at the age of 70.
In a condolence message to the Delta State Government, the APC, and the Okorodudu family, President Tinubu described the late AVM as a loyal party leader, a dedicated public servant, and a patriot who contributed immensely to the growth of the APC and the progress of Nigeria.
The President highlighted Okorodudu’s role in strengthening the APC’s fortunes at both state and national levels, noting in particular his service on the security committee of the 2023 Presidential Campaign Council. He also paid tribute to his distinguished military career, recalling that Okorodudu was commissioned as a pilot officer in the Nigerian Air Force on January 5, 1976, and later rose through the ranks to become Air Vice Marshal.
During his service, Okorodudu held several key positions, including Defence Attaché at the Nigerian Embassy in Moscow, Russia, between February 2006 and July 2009. He was also the pioneer Managing Director of Aeronautical Engineering and Technical Services Limited, a subsidiary of the Nigerian Air Force, and later served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Harry’s Friends Club, a policy think tank dedicated to good governance.
President Tinubu commiserated with Okorodudu’s wife, children, extended family, political associates, and friends, urging them to take solace in his enduring legacy of service, loyalty, and patriotism.
