Honourable Ezekiel Afon, a House of Assembly candidate of the All progressives Congress (APC), has died just hour after winning the election in his constituency

According to Voice of Nigeria (VON), Hon. Afon died few hours after winning the seat for the Pengana Constituency into the Plateau State House of Assembly.

He was said to be ill before the election and died on a day that should have been one for celebrating his win.

Secretary of the All Progressive Congress in the state, Mr. Bashir Sati, confirmed the lawmaker’s death on Sunday in Jos.

According to Sati, Afon died Sunday afternoon after a brief illness.

“It is unfortunate that we lost Afon, one of the most dedicated members of our party and a committed lawmaker just after he was declared winner to occupy his seat again.“Though he has been sick for a while but we received the news of his demise with rude shock,” he said.

No! If apc was disqualified, it goes to d runner-up. Now it's death, the runner up in the primary takes it. The victory is of the party, not an individual.

They said he was sick for sometime before his death.

He might have neglected his Ill health and went in to campaign just to win.

But health should always come first.

No the party is recognized as the winner not an individual. So APC will provide a substitute candidate... probably the runner up in the election.

This here is why when some mere mortals go bragging and beating their chest asking " do you know who I am"? I just look at them and smile because even they knoweth not who they truly are...

Mere flesh not any different from the cows and goats we consume on a daily.

I just dey look Wike and Amaechi with corner eye dey laugh..
