By Jeffrey Agbo
Chairman of the Senate Committee on South East Development Commission (SEDC), Senator Orji Kalu (APC, Abia North), has described Senator Okey Ezea’s death as “heartbreaking and devastating.”
Ezea, representing Enugu North Senatorial District, died on Tuesday in Lagos after a brief illness.
In a statement on Wednesday, Kalu said: “I received with profound shock and deep sorrow the heartbreaking news of the passing of my dear brother and colleague, Senator Okey Ezea. His death is a painful blow that has left me personally devastated. Senator Ezea was more than a fellow legislator; he was a friend with whom I shared a close and sincere bond built on mutual respect, brotherhood, and genuine affection.
“Our relationship extended far beyond the chambers of the Senate. With shared Catholic faith, we often celebrated Mass in the same Catholic chapel, lifting our voices to God in fellowship and reflection. Those quiet moments of prayer and spiritual communion remain etched in my heart. Senator Ezea was a man of humility, integrity, and steadfast faith. His devotion to God and his passion for service defined him in every sense.”
Kalu condoled with the Senate, the governor and people of Enugu State over the lawmaker’s death.
“To his immediate family, I pray that God grants you strength and comfort during this painful period. Your husband, father, brother, and son was a noble man whose legacy of service and faith will continue to shine,” Kalu said.
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the family and the National Assembly.
