The Vice National President of Igbo social-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, has called on the All Progressive Congress (APC)-led Federal Government to immortalise the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Vincent Ogbulafor.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that Ogbulafor died on Thursday in Canada at the age of 73 years.

According to the Ohanaeze VP, the death of Ogbulafor, is a big loss to Ndi-Igbo and the country at large.
