The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is in mourning following the sudden death of its Deputy Publicity Secretary in Imo State, Hon. Ugochimereze Chinedu Asuzu. 

He reportedly slumped and died in the early hours of Wednesday, according to multiple reports. 

In a statement released by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Chief MacDonald Amadi, the ADC described Asuzu’s passing as a “devastating loss” and lauded his contributions as a man of “uncommon intellect, conviction, and service.” 

A native of Umuma Isiaku in Ideato South Local Government Area, Asuzu had a notable academic and civic profile. 

He held degrees in Theology and Political Science, and was reportedly pursuing doctoral studies when he died. 

In addition to his political role, Asuzu was deeply involved in cultural advocacy and intellectual discourse. 

He was convener of Ikoro Ndigbo, founder of the Igbo Intelligentsia Renaissance, and national leader of the support coalition I Stand With ADC.  

Earlier in his career, he was also associated with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and was known as a public affairs analyst, writer, and lecturer. 

The party’s statement further described him as a loving husband, devoted father, and mentor who inspired many in both religious and secular spheres. 

Burial arrangements have not yet been disclosed; the ADC says details will be announced in due course.
