| The late Chukwumerije |
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, is dead. The lawmaker, a three-time senator representing Abia North, lost his fight to live after a long illness at a Turkish Hospital In Abuja
He died this morning at the age of 75.
Uche Chukwumerije was elected a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in April 2003.
In the Fourth Republic, Chukwumerije was elected to the Senate on the PDP's platform, but he fell out of favor with the party's leadership when he opposed the 3rd term agenda Chukwumerije eventually decamped to the PPA in 2006, and was reelected to the Senate on April 28, 2007.
Last December the rumour of his death went viral with the politician coming out days later to describe the rumour as the handiwork of “a few ungodly and irresponsible individuals.”
Chukwumerije is divorced with 7 children.
Late Chukwumerije studied economics at the University of Ibadan.
He also served as minister of information in the later days of the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida.
May his soul RIP
