It was with a deep sense of loss that I received the news of the death of the Abia state governorship candidate of the PDP, Prof. Uche Eleazar Ikonne, whose death occurred in the early hours of today and was officially announced by his son, Dr. Uche-Ikonne Chikezie.
Prof. was an erudite scholar and my political counterpart that I was looking forward to debating with on how to better the lot of our dear state, amongst other candidates.
On behalf of my family, Campaign Council, I commiserate with his family members, both immediate and distant, and the Abia State PDP for such an irreparable loss, and may God grants his soul eternal rest.
