Mr. Ezeazu, who was in his late 50s, led Nigerian students
between 1986 and 1988, the longest span of NANS
leadership by one person in history. He was also credited
with reviving students’ unionism at the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka. Sources say he had been diagnosed with
a kidney ailment.
Mr. Eleazu ran for the House of Representatives on the
platform of the APC, reportedly collapsing during the
primaries. Still, he lost the contest by only 14 votes,
despite being on a hospital bed.
He was also a former National Secretary of the Civil
Liberties Organizations, and Executive Director of
Community Action For Popular Participation (CAPP]. He
later founded the Alliance For Credible Elections (ACE).
He and the late Chima Ubani also ran an “underground
railway” somewhere in Lagos, described as a place where
activists stayed beyond the reach of overzealous security
agents.

Heroes fall too

May his soul R.I.P (RETURN IF POSSIBLE)

Rip the great activist.
