Senator Okey Ezea, representing Enugu North, has died following complications from diabetes.
Although earlier reports said he passed away in the UK, family sources revealed he actually died in Lagos after doctors amputated one of his legs in an effort to save his life. He reportedly died during a skin graft procedure on the amputated limb.
His colleagues in the Senate, including Orji Uzor Kalu and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, have paid emotional tributes, describing him as a wise, gentle, and supportive figure.
Born in 1963, Ezea co-founded the APC in Enugu, contested for governor in 2015, later chaired the Federal Medical Centre Jalingo board, and eventually joined the Labour Party in 2022, winning the Enugu North Senate seat in 2023.
