The top presidential aide
and confidant of President Jonathan, Oronto Douglas died early this morning at
the State House Clinic.
The 49 year old lawyer by profession gained prominence
as an environmental activist on behalf of the oil-producing communities of the
Niger Delta.
Sahara reporters say though
Mr. Douglas had been sick for several years, he continued to work over the last
few weeks for Mr. Jonathan’s re-election, with one source saying he was
devastated when his principal lost the presidential polls.
Mr. Douglas is survived by
a wife and children.
