ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday led a delegation of senators to the Abuja residence of the late Senator Okechukwu Ezea, who passed away on 18 November 2025.
The Senate had earlier adjourned its plenary session to enable members pay their respects to Ezea, who represented Enugu North Senatorial District in the 10th Senate.
Speaking during the visit, Akpabio said the delegation came to stand with the bereaved family during their period of grief and to reassure them that they were not alone.
“It is not always a good experience to stay with a colleague for over two years, see each other daily, sometimes more than we see our own families, and then all of a sudden he vanishes just like that,” Akpabio said.
He described the late lawmaker as a peaceful man who treated colleagues with dignity and respect. “You can imagine the shock when we heard of his demise, because there was never a time he walked into the chamber showing any sign of illness. The news came suddenly,” he added.
Responding on behalf of the family, Jideofor Ezea, son of the late senator, expressed gratitude to Akpabio and the visiting lawmakers. He said their comforting words and prayers had brought the family strength during a difficult moment.
