Speaker Abbas mourns Senator Ayogu Eze

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, expressed sadness on Friday over the death of a former member of the Senate, Ayogu Eze, who died at the age of 66.

The Speaker described Eze as a fine gentleman who served his country with zeal and commitment, especially during his time in the Senate.

Speaker Abbas prayed for the repose of the soul of the late ex-lawmaker. He equally extended his condolences to Eze’s family, the people, and the government of Enugu State.
