Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo has expressed shock over the sudden death of a state lawmaker, Nnamdi Okafor who doubles as the Majority Leader of the House of Assembly.
Okafor was elected in 2015 and re-elected in 2019 to represent Awka South Constituency One in the House.
Okafor reportedly slumped at Sandton City, Johannesburg, South Africa where he was attending a statutory training session of members of Anambra State House of Assembly.

“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,” Soludo said in a statement by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime.
Prof Soludo noted that Okafor was an active participant at the 7th Assembly who devoted his time and energy to represent his constituency.
Soludo added, “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 House of 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 Dr. Okafor did.”
