The Deputy Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Imo State, Ugochimereze Chinedu Asuzu, has died after reportedly slumping in the early hours of Wednesday.
His death was confirmed in a statement by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, MacDonald Amadi, who described it as a big loss to the ADC and Nigerian society.
Asuzu, a native of Umuma Isiaku in Ideato South Local Government Area, was known for his roles as convener of Ikoro Ndigbo and founder of Igbo Intelligentsia Renaissance, a platform that promoted cultural renewal and intellectual engagement.
He was also the national leader of I Stand With ADC, a coalition support group for democratic participation.
Until his death, he held degrees in Theology and Political Science and was pursuing a doctoral degree. He was also a theologian, entrepreneur, cultural advocate, writer, public affairs analyst, and visiting lecturer.
“The passing of Chief Asuzu is an irreplaceable loss to his family, the ADC family, and the larger Nigerian society,” the statement read.
The party described him as a loving husband, devoted father, and mentor who inspired many across religious and secular circles.
