Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state, has expressed shock over the sudden death of Anambra Assembly Majority Leader, Dr. Nnamdi Okafor.
The lawmaker who slumped and died in South Africa represents Awka 1, State constituency.
“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 Two Constituency, Hon. Okechukwu Okoye.
“Late 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 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 late Okafor did”.
The majority leader slumped at Sandton City Johannesburg, South Africa where he was attending a statutory training session of members of the State Assembly.
