Senator Ayogu Eze has passed away

Enugu State is plunged into mourning as news breaks of the passing of Senator Ayogu Eze, a towering figure in Nigerian politics. Born in 1958, Eze’s legacy spans decades of service to his people, leaving an indelible mark on the political landscape.

Representing Enugu North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Eze’s journey was marked by dedication and commitment to public service. A former Senate spokesman, his eloquence and passion for governance earned him widespread respect across party lines.

Despite battling a prolonged illness, Eze remained steadfast in his duties, a testament to his unwavering dedication to his constituents. His absence at his child’s wedding earlier in the year spoke volumes of the sacrifices he made in service to the nation.

A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Eze’s political journey saw him evolve and adapt to the changing tides of Nigerian politics. His eventual defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) showcased his resilience and determination to effect change.

In the hallowed halls of the Senate, Eze’s leadership shone brightly as he chaired critical committees, including Information and Media, Works, and others. His appointment as chairman of the senate committee on Information and Media in 2007 elevated him to the role of the Senate’s official spokesman, where he deftly navigated the intricacies of national discourse.

Beyond his legislative duties, Eze’s service extended to the Federal Commissioners for Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), where his expertise and vision contributed to shaping Nigeria’s fiscal policies.
