The Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has reacted over the death of his bosom friend and the Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP in the state, Professor Uche Ikonne whose death was announced a few hours ago.
The Governor in a statement made available to "Precious Eze's Blog", said “It is with a heavy heart but total submission to the will of God that we announce the passing of our Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2023 general elections, Prof Eleazar Uchenna Ikonne, which sad event took place in the early hours of today at the National Hospital, Abuja, after a brief illness”.
According to him, “While we condole with the family of the late Professor of Optometry, the PDP family and Abians in general, we pray God to have mercy on his soul, grant him eternal rest and give everyone affected by his unfortunate demise the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
The Governor went further to as that as a mark of honour to our dear departed brother, I hereby direct that all flags in Abia State PDP offices be lowered and flown at half mast while all campaign activities for the party at all levels be suspended until Monday, 30th January, 2023.
I urge all PDP leaders and members to
remain calm as we navigate through this difficult period together.
