A founding member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Sylvester Nwobu-Alor, has died.
Nwobu-Alor, a former legislator in Anambra, was a mentor to the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.
It was learnt that when Obi was the governor of Anambra State, Nwobu-Alor assisted him to stabilise parks and markets in the state as the governor’s aide in that sector.
That period was characterised by violence as hoodlums in motor parks under the guise of the National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) caused mayhem in the state.
