Dr. Nwamba extended his condolences to the immediate family, friends, and well-wishers of the late senator, praying for them to find the strength to bear the monumental loss.

"Senator Ayogu Eze's life was a testament to service, dedication, and excellence. He was a distinguished Nigerian politician who served his people with unwavering commitment and integrity," Dr. Nwamba said.

Born on November 23, 1958, Senator Eze was elected Senator for the Enugu North Senatorial District of Enugu State, taking office on June 5, 2007. Before his illustrious tenure as a senator, Ayogu Eze had already made significant contributions to the development of Enugu State and the nation at large.

"A thoroughbred media professional, entrepreneur, community leader, and nation-builder, Senator Ayogu Eze served in various capacities, including as a Commissioner. He was a man of many accomplishments, having also served on the Boards of the Nigerian Ports Authority and the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC)," Dr. Nwamba added.

He also earned a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Lagos.

During his political career, Senator Ayogu Eze was a trailblazer. He played a pivotal role in the formation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, serving as the party's pioneer state secretary. He later served as Commissioner for Information and Culture under Governor Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani.

"In 2007, he was elected to the Nigerian Senate, where he distinguished himself as a fearless and articulate lawmaker," Dr. Nwamba continued.

In his tribute, Dr. Nwamba hailed Senator Ayogu Eze as a "parliamentarian par excellence" and a "political juggernaut."

The passing of Senator Ayogu Eze has plunged Enugu State into mourning, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of the people he served so diligently. As we bid farewell to a true statesman, let us honor his memory by continuing the work he started and striving to build a better Nigeria for future generations.

"I join the people of Enugu North Senatorial District, Enugu State and Nigeria at large to mourn an icon, very fearless, a parliamentarian par excellence, a political juggernaut. On behalf of my family, friends, and associates, I say farewell to Distinguished Sen. Ayogu Eze!" Dr. Nwamba Added.
