Former Senator representing Enugu North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Ayogu Eze, is reportedly dead.

The former Senate spokesman died in an Abuja Hospital after a protracted illness.

A source who spoke to the Daily Post said the late Senator had been down, which prevented him from attending his child’s wedding ceremony earlier in the year, which was held in Lagos State.

Ayogu Eze was a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, before he defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, where he ran for the Enugu State governorship election.
