Benue state commissioner and enemy
of change /GMB is DEAD. .....
Honourable Aondowase Chia was a
commissioner in Benue State. His
death in Nigeria causes a ripple within
political circles. He had mocked the
72-year-old APC presidential
candidate General Muhammadu Buhari,
calling him ‘quarter-to-go’,
insinuating Buhari was close to his
grave.
On Tuesday, 3rd of March, 2015, Chia
presented his ministry’s 2015 budget
the previous day before the Benue
State House of Assembly and he did
not manifest any sign of illness. Upon
returning to his office, he slumped
and he could not stand from his chair.
He was rushed to the Benue State
University Teaching Hospital in
Makurdi but he gave up the ghost in
the early hours of the next day,
around 6:30 am. A stroke has been
named as the likely cause of death.
He is survived by a wife and eight
children.
