“Our thoughts and prayers are with Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa, an esteemed political leader, and his siblings during this period of grief. May God Almighty console, comfort, and strengthen them over this irreparable loss,”;; the statement signed by Dr. Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, National Chairman of IPAC, said.
“We take solace in the fact that the late Pa Sylvester Ezeokenwa lived a fulfilled life and will be remembered as a man of integrity and a pioneer member of APGA, who contributed immensely to the growth of the party in Anambra State, which has been in power since 2006.”;;
