Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra, who announced the death in a statement posted on his social media page, described her death as a deep cut.

According to him, the death of a loved one comes with a lot of emotional setbacks, especially one you have shared a huge part of your life with.

“I visited His Excellency today to condole with him and his family. His thankful disposition reminded me of the scriptural admonition that we must give thanks to God in all situations, and at all times.

“May God continue to grant the Ezeifes the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, even as we pray for the continued repose of the soul of Mama.”
