Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An All Progressives Congress, APC presidential aspirant in the 2023 election, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu is dead.<\/p>\n

Onu, who was the first civilian governor in Abia State, died in Abjua on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Details of the incident are still sketchy as at the time of filing this report, however, it was learnt that the APC chieftain has been battling with an undisclosed ailment.<\/p>\n

Onu\u2019s last major public appearance was during the APC primary election in 2022 when he alleged injustice against the people of Southeast.<\/p>\n

Former president, Muhammadu Buhari, had in November 2015 appointed Onu as the Minister of Science and Technology.<\/p>\n

The former governor, however, resigned his position on May 6, 2022 to join the APC presidential race, which he lost to President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
