Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, a prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant for the 2023 election, has passed away. The former governor of Abia State and first civilian governor, Onu died in Abuja on Thursday. While details about his death are not clear yet, it is known that he had been dealing with an undisclosed illness.
Onu made headlines during the APC primary election in 2022 when he spoke out against perceived injustice towards the people of Southeast. He had a notable public presence and was known for his dedication to political causes. Onu’s voice resonated with many as he advocated for the rights of his people.
Former president Muhammadu Buhari appointed Onu as the Minister of Science and Technology in November 2015. On May 6, 2022, Onu resigned from his ministerial position to pursue the APC presidential nomination, which ultimately went to President Bola Tinubu. This marked a significant turning point in Onu’s political career and aspirations, but his legacy will live on as someone who stood up for what was right and fought for justice and equality for all Nigerians.
In conclusion, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu was a dedicated politician who gave his all to promote justice and equality in Nigeria. His death is a great loss to the country’s political landscape, but his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of politicians to strive for a better tomorrow.
