Ex-Senate Spokesman, Ayogu Eze, Dies At 66
A former Senate spokesman, Ayogu Eze, is dead.
Multiple sources say the senator, who represented Enugu North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, died in an Abuja hospital after a protracted illness.
Born in 1958, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member was said to have been confined to a sick bed for a long time, a development that accounted for his absence during one of his children’s wedding ceremonies held earlier in the year in Lagos State.
The former lawmaker was to later dump the PDP and join the All Progressives Congress (APC) where he aspired to Enugu State.
In the Senate, he was appointed chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and Media, making him the official spokesman of the Senate in 2007.
After his reelection to the Senate in 2011, he was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Works.
Eze also served as a member of committees on Police Affairs, National Planning, Marine Transport and Federal Character & Inter-Government Affairs.
In May last year, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Eze and five others as Federal Commissioners for Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC.
