Chinyere Asika
- Commiserates with party’s woman leader
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed grief over the death
of Dr. Chinyere Asika, wife of the late Administrator of the defunct
East Central State, Dr. Ukpabi Asika and Senior Special Assistant to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo on New Partnership for African
Development (NEPAD).
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement
monday, eulogised Asika, who was also the elder sister to PDP National
Woman Leader, Dr. Kema Chikwe as “a true Nigerian who dedicated her life
for the development of the nation.”
The PDP said the nation “will remain proud of Dr. Asika’s commitment to
national development including her stewardship in NEPAD, her roles as
the Chairman of the National Working Group of Africa Peer Review
Mechanism (APRM) as well as her contributions to numerous women
empowerment programmes in the country.”
The party lamented that Asika, who was recently appointed as ECOWAS
representative in the Panel of Eminent Persons, Africa Peer Review
Mechanism, died at the time the nation and the sub-region needed her
wealth of experience the most.”
The party commiserated with the family of the Asikas, especially the
PDP National Woman Leader as well as the son of the deceased, Obi Asika,
Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Social
Media.
