The immediate past chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, has reacted to the demise of Senator Ayogu Eze, describing the news as “devastating”.
Nwoye said “I am utterly shocked and deeply saddened to learn about the sudden passing of our dear leader. The news has left me speechless.”
Dr. Nwoye said the death is one too many to him and to the APC where the late politician played his last politics on earth.
“How can one begin to rationalise this? This is one death too many. We’re still trying to come out from the shock of the death of Mrs. Maria Aniobi, the last representative of Enugu at the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission and now, Ayogu who replaced her is gone.
“Enugu APC has lost an astute leader. He was our governorship candidate in the 2019 general election. Senator Eze is the best Governor we never had from Enugu North Senatorial district.
“He was a beacon of strength, wisdom, and compassion, and his loss leaves a void that cannot be filled in Enugu APC.”
Nwoye prayed for the repose of his soul and for the Almighty to give the family and all that had a relationship with the late Senator the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
