Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has expressed sadness over the death of former Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Annie Okonkwo, popularly known as Okaka Ojoto.
Okonkwo, sources said, died in the United States after a long battle with a terminal illness. The deceased, who was a foremost industrialist, recently celebrated his 63rd birthday on May 23, 2023.
In a statement on Thursday by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Soludo noted that as a prominent son of Anambra State who hails from Ojoto in Idemili South Local Government Area of the State, the late Senator Okonkwo has paid his own dues trying to serve the state.
