The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has paid a condolence visit to the family of a former Vice Chancellor of the Abia State University
and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the governorship election in the state, Prof Uche Ikonne, who died recently.
Describing the death as shocking, Ikpeazu, who was accompanied by his wife, Nkechi, regretted that all human efforts made to save Ikonne proved abortive.

The statement read in part, “Governor Ikpeazu expressed the hope that a glorious life awaits him hereafter and urged his wife, who is the State Solicitor General and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Uzoamaka Ikonne, his first son, Dr Chike Uche-Ikonne, family members and others affected by the death to take heart.
