The State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State, Chief Johnson Onuigbo is dead.

The Ibeku-born amiable politician, according to sources close to the family, died on Monday night.

Onuigbo elongates the list of prominent sons of Ibeku Clan in Umuahia, Abia State who have died in the last one month, his demise coming after that of Prof. Augustine Mbanaso, a first class medical expert, Eze Dan Egbeogu, a former lawmaker and traditional ruler of Okwuta Ibeku, as well as Deacon Sam Odoemelam who rose to the rank of Permanent Secretary in the Abia State Civil Service.

Onuigbo, until his unfortunate death, was also a member of the Knight of St Christopher, Umuahia Diocese, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion.
