SHOCKING!!!
Oronto Douglas, the Special Adviser
to President Goodluck Jonathan on Research, Documentation and Strategy, is
dead.
A lawyer and committed
environmentalist, Mr. Douglas was a commissioner for information in Bayelsa, a recipient of the prestigious British Chevening Scholarship and
was a delegate from the state for the 2005 National Political Reform Conference
organized by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
Mr. Douglas, 49, a presidency source
said, passed on at the State House clinic at 4:58 a.m. Thursday.
The real cause of his death is
unknown at this time, but the presidential adviser is said to have managed a
terminal illness for sometime, and had, from time to time, sought treatment
abroad for prolonged periods.
Born 1966, Mr. Douglas is regularly
described as one of Mr. Jonathan’s most brilliant and influential aides,
documenting the President’s achievements and legacies, and helping coordinate
parallel media and campaign strategies for the presidency.
He's survived by his wife and
children.
