Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has handed over a cheque of N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) to the family of late Hon Ossy Prestige for the education of the last son of the Honourable Member who before his demise represented Aba North/South Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Igbere TV reports.

Making the presentation today during the second edition of the Town Hall Meeting between him and the Abiriba community in Aba held at the Abiriba Communal Improvement Union (ACIU) Hall, Governor Ikpeazu who expressed deep sense of personal loss following the news of the death of Prestige, called for prayers and support to the family at this time of grief and going forward. He described the late Prestige as someone who was close to him regardless of differences in political affiliation and assured that he will be fully involved in the burial ceremonies.

Receiving the cheque on behalf of the family, the Member representing Aba Central State Constituency and Minority Leader of the Abia State House of Assembly, Honorable Abraham Oba, thanked the Governor for his kind gesture and assured him that the people of Abiriba appreciate the love and kindness he has always shown to them, the Late Ossy Prestige who died recently in a German Hospital and also to the family he left behind.

This is commendable. Thank God it was not kerosene. Though APGA is reclaiming that vacant seat Aba north/south federal constituency.

Good gesture from Gov Ikpeazu

Its very good to support the needs. But also remember the poor Abians, not only top men political figures. remember Abia roads. Remember creating jobs for Abians.

I remembered during my secondary school era I was among students that represent my school, the minister gave us money before we could get that money we spent half of the money for transportation and photocopy.

Is only in Nigeria you bribe to get paid of your salary.
They should make sure the (10 million naira). money is giving out completely because everything about this country is bribing.

Better than giving KEROSENE

nice gesture, ossy was a good man

10m is not bad sha

I got something to say:

You gave 10M to a Honourables family for the education of their last son?

Really??

A nice gesture, yes, but you mean to say the man in question who is late don't have business empire established that can foot the bills of his children.

Nigerians, always thinking backwards, you gave a brick to someone who owns a block industry.


while there are some out there that don't even have money to rent a thatch roof.

you gave a bucket of water to someone who owns a pool.

Good one from the governor, but hope publicizing this information will not expose the family. It's well for our society.

fetching water inside the ocean. The poor people that are living in penury in the man's constituency should be supported not the late Honourable, that has more than #100 million in his accounts

How about fixing abịa Road

Wow

...and to the common man dying in that state everyday nko?

hopeless and clueless leaders.

God forgive me... anytime i see this man na laugh dey enter my body...

can anything be done behind the curtains in

this country.....

buy tissue paper..... instagram story...

Forgot to buy diapers.... instagram story....

ozuo People

I wanted to thank him before Googling the name of the man he donated the money to.
Seriously, I was expecting to hear someone who had died, or maybe a handicapped man but no, he's a fellow politician and possibly, multi-millionaire.
All is fine, that's all we Nigerians can say!

When I first saw the headline I was thinking the person that died was a commoner, but as I was reading it I understand that he was part of them, keep sharing it among your families living and dead, a time will come that you won't be able to share it again.

Rich get richer.

Politicians stop playing to the gallery.

Great. May the soul of the dead rest in peace.

Hope the governor will give the family of the robbed and killed POS agents, Victor Chimaobi Igbokwe and Ezinne Grace Iroh in Aba, Abia State token as support as well.

That will not stop people from arresting all of you politicians massacring unarmed innocent people of the state through python dance and unannounced fulani military operations in our land.

I wish unknown gunmen were there too.

these eastern politicians are something else. no direction at all

for the first time in the history of abia

Commendable.

At the same time let us remember Awon Accomodators that are homeless and refugees in Benin Republic.
A little above 1 million naira will alleviate the sufferings of our homeless brothers in Ibarapa and Ogun.

Ikpeazu just paid him back for sponsoring his guber election.... and with Abia State Money.

>
So, is the government giving N10 million to the surviving families of ALL citizens?

The sentiment might be in the right place...
But to be brutally honest this is ALL KINDS OF WRONG!

We should quit this governance-by-donation BS.
Instead, there should be institutional processes to deal with these matters

First, would this happen if he was in a different party?
Further, a House member should have some sort of insurance or death benefits.

RIP!

The late man is a multi millionaire... His kids will never lack and 10m isn't their problem.... But they must give even more money to the rich to make them richer..... Poor people die everyday and their hopeless kids get nothing. Well, rip to the dead

And he is owing the teachers
