Like I said before his father did not influence his winning unlike someone I know who is a political chieftain then, his wife is a Senator, his daughter is an Iyaloja and his son controls the billboard.

A former Senator who represented the Anambra Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Clement Annie Okonkwo (popularly known as Senator Annie Okonkwo), is dead.

Senator Okonkwo died on Wednesday after almost recovering from a brief illness.


His death, which came as a shock to many, occured just few days to the inauguration ceremony of his son, Uchenna Harris Okonkwo, who is the House of Representatives Member-elect for Idemili North and South Federal Constituency, Anambra State.

According to a source, “He was recovering after taking proper treatment in the United States of America but relapsed a few days ago, and died yesterday.”

“Further details and arrangements would be made known to the public after deliberations and meetings are held within the family.”

Senator Okonkwo, who was elected under the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), represented the Anambra Central District in the Sixth Assembly from 2007-2011.

He was also a former governorship aspirants during the 2010 governorship election in the State, but lost to the then incumbent governor, Peter Obi, who was re-elected.

Senator Okonkwo was born in May 23, 1960 in Ojoto, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

He obtained an Advanced Diploma in Marketing, University of Lagos (1994–1995), Advanced Diploma in Commercial Law and Practice, University of Lagos (1995–1997), and Advanced Diploma in Management, Harvard University, USA (1997–1998).

When he ventured into business, he built a conglomerate employing over 7,000 people that includes firms such as Reliance Telecomm, Clemco Industries, Modern Communications (satellite TV Network), MacClemm Marketing Communications, Sunflower Nigeria and Pentagon Oil.

After being elected as a Senator, he was appointed to committees on Upstream Petroleum Resources, Police Affairs, Environment and Agriculture.

He was the Senator who sponsored the bill for the Federal Government to make essential commodities accessible and affordable to Nigerians, as well as a bill to establish the Nigerians Citizens in Diaspora Commission.

Senator Okonkwo just recently celebrated his 63rd birthday in May 23 this year, before his death on Wednesday, June 7.

He took "proper treatment" in the United States while our healthcare system is plundered and left in comatose.

Our political class are so thoughtless ehn. Fixing our health sector would serve them better since it'll be easier to access healthcare here as they'll be attended to by our own health professionals who understand them better. But they prefer sending out funds to keep growing the western nations.

It doesn't take much to fix things in our health sector. Just reorganize the leadership hierarchy of the sector by appointing competent administrators (who are not medical doctors) to manage our health institutions, so that funds going into the sector would be judiciously managed while industrial harmony would be entrenched.

Go and see a doctor

DrAkpamudehe:


Pls leave this man alone. He is not responsible for your failed healthcare system. He was already a multibillionaire before he joined politics, courtesy of his late wealthy father who was a trader at Aba. Stop all this nonsense please. You are hurting people who have been touched by this man positively with your fallacious statements

He was a big man in anambra state politics, not just a big man but he groomed his son into politics, life is just vanity like king Solomon in the bible said , you get all the money , businesses, connections, political power and the next minute you are gone, leaving with nothing back to your maker, I wish human beings can understand that there is nothing in this life , live your life like tomorrow is not guaranteed, do good without season , help those you are better of, make an impact, don't treat people bad because of money rather use that money to bless the people let the people say good legacies about you when you are no more.

Now, tell us the meaning of those words that you copied from the dictionary.

Abegi! He what difference was he able to make while he was there as a senator? Nothing! He was there looting the money meant for upgrade of our healthcare system. The fact that he inherited his father's business didn't mean he never joined in looting our common patrimony.

Life ended. Time for his children to fight over property.

djon78:



True

I think the reason for money is to help those in need

Also one should be at peace with his Maker



I knew this Man very well
One of the money bags from my state Anambra

Has been a very wealthy man since I knew him close to 30 years ago

This life is vanity indeed
Nothing dey am

DrAkpamudehe:


He has made a name in the sands of time. His life was short but it helped to shape the lives of thousands of people in ojoto, Anambra, Nigeria and beyond, including me.
