A member of the moribund Board of Trustees BOT of the ruling All
Progressives Congress APC, Sir Olisaemeka Akamukalem is dead, Vanguard
report.
Akamukalem, who hailed from Delta state died on Tuesday in
Gwarinpa, Abuja after a torrential rainfall which swept his car. He was
aged 57.
His remains were immediately recovered and deposited at the Kubwa General Hospital Morgue.
Eye-witnesses said they watched helplessly as the flood swept the
party chieftain and his car to their end. In the meantime, APC said it
received the news of the death of one of its “respected leaders, Sir Olisaemeka Akamukali with shock”.
In a statement issued Thursday in Abuja and signed by the party’s
National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, APC recalled that the
late Akamukali was the former National Chairman of the Democratic
Peoples Party (DPP) that merged with others to form the APC in 2013.
He had also served as the first Assistant National Secretary of the All Peoples Party (APP).
“He was the Director-General of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Campaign
for President and thereafter served as member of the APC Presidential
Campaign Committee that worked for the successful election of President
Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
“The late party chieftain who served the APC as first interim
National Auditor was one the stabilizing forces in the party and always
identified with progressive causes to strengthen the Party and ensure
unity among members.
“Sadly, the late Akamukali has left us at a critical time when
he was needed to contribute to nation building and the implementation of
the APC Change Agenda. We however take solace knowing that the late
Party chieftain lived a fulfilled and impactful life during his time on
earth”, APC added.
