The former governor said the matriarch died on Thursday in Abuja at the age of 90 years.
“While we thank friends and well wishers who identified with us, particularly during our mother’s last days, we enjoin you to remember the family in your prayers,” he added.Mr Ihedioha served as the governor state under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party between May 2019 and January 2020, when the Supreme Court nullified their election and declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress as the governor of the state.
The former governor recently announced his withdrawal from the Imo State governorship race under the PDP. There are speculations that he was considering a switch to another opposition party in Imo State ahead of the 11 November governorship election in the state.Late Mrs Ihedioha was born to Okereke royal family in Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State. She got married in 1951 at the age 20 years to Bernard Ihedioha, who died in 1995.
The matriarch gave birth to 13 children, including former governor of the state, Mr Ihedioha, although five of them died later.
