Late Senator Annie Okonkwo
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has expressed sadness and pains at the news of the death of former Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Chief Annie Okonkwo, popularly known as Okaka Ojoto.
Soludo in a statement on Thursday signed by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, noted that as a prominent son of Anambra State who hailed from Ojoto in Idemili South Local Government Area of the State, the late Senator had paid his own dues trying to serve the state.
“The Governor, on behalf of Anambra State Government and the entire people of the state, commiserates with the family and friends of the deceased over this painful loss,” the statement said.
The Governor “the good Lord to grant Okonkwo’s soul eternal rest and the family he left behind the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
