Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has said that the death of Senator Arthur Nzeribe is a big loss to the people of Imo State in particular and Nigeria in general.
Born on November 2, 1938, Senator Nzeribe reportedly died on Sunday at the age of 83, according to family sources.
A statement by Governor Uzodimma’s Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, said Senator Nzeribe will forever be remembered as a political juggernaut in Nigeria.
Governor Uzodimma said his death has robbed Imo State and Nigeria of a seasoned politician and business icon, noting that Senator Nzeribe died when his fatherly and statesmanly advice were badly needed.
The Governor commiserated with the family members of Senator Nzeribe, the people of Oguta, his political and business associates, friends and well wishers on his passing, urging them to pray for the deceased.
Uzodimma who also said Senator Nzeribe’s death was a personal loss to his family, the government and people of Imo State, urged God to grant the soul of the deceased a peaceful repose.
