A statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Barr. Christian Ita, described Mrs Kalu’s demise as heartbreaking.

According to Ayade: "It was with such unspeakable sadness, that I received the news of the death of your darling wife, Mrs Ifeoma Kalu.

It has created a void in the family.”

While praying God to comfort Kalu and his entire family and give them the strength to bear the irreparable loss, Ayade said his thoughts and prayers are with them.

"The pain of losing a loved one, in this case, a dear wife, could be unbearable but I urge you to be strong, especially knowing that she is now resting in the Lord's bosom.

May her soul Rest In Peace. It is painful to loose love ones
