Chief Okey Ahiwe, the Abia State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has commiserated with the family of Sir Friday Nwanozie Nwosu, who passed on Thursday at an Abuja hospital after a brief illness.
“It is a big loss to his family, Ngwa people, his associates, and the nation,” Ahiwe said.
“I am sad to learn of his departure at a point he was on the ascendancy in his contribution to national politics. He was known for his simplicity. He would say his mind”.
Nwosu, a lawyer popularly known as FN, was a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Working Committee, NWC.
Until his death, he was APC’s National Welfare Secretary.
APC on Thursday night confirmed his passing on its official Twitter handle, thus, “Words are not enough to describe the monumental loss brought by the passing of the Party’s National Welfare Secretary, Sir Friday Nwanozie Nwosu on the APC family. May his soul rest in peace”.
Nwosu was sick, and his doctors discharged him on Wednesday, according to the family. He reportedly returned to the hospital on Thursday for a check and died.
FN Nwosu hailed from Mgboko Umuoria in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State
