Soludo Expresses Shock Over Sudden Demise Of Anambra Lawmaker Okafor

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has expressed shock over the sudden death of Anambra State lawmaker, Dr. Nnamdi Okafor.

Dr. Okafor who represented Awka South Constituency I in the state House of Assembly, doubled as the Majority Leader of the House.

According to a statement from the Press Secretary to the Governor, Christian Aburime, Soludo said the late Okafor who devoted time and energy to represent his constituency would be sorely missed.

“It is shocking that the State Assembly lost another lawmaker to the cold hands of death, coming barely three months after the demise of the lawmaker representing Aguata II Constituency, Hon. Okechukwu Okoye.

“Dr. Nnamdi Okafor was an active participant at the 7th Assembly who devoted his time and energy to represent his constituency. He’ll be sorely missed.

“On behalf of Anambra State Government, may I use this medium to convey my sympathy to those he left behind, including his family, Awka Constituency One and Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Uche Okafor as well as other lawmakers. Indeed, life is ephemeral. May the living continue to reflect on the essence of life and live for the good of the society like Dr. Okafor did.”

Dr. Okafor reportedly slumped at Sandton City Johannesburg, South Africa where he was attending a statutory training session of members of Anambra State House of Assembly.
