The former Deputy Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Harford Oseke, has slumped and died.
According to reports, Oseke had just finished his regular exercise routine at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, the state capital when he suddenly collapsed.
Efforts to revive him proved abortive and he was pronounced dead shortly after the incident. His body has since been deposited at the Apex Medical Centre in Awka.
Born in August 1960, Oseke hailed from Umuawulu in the Awka South local government area of the State. He was a learned scholar, having studied law and recently completed a Ph.D. in Public Administration. Beyond his academic accomplishments, he was a prominent figure in the freight forwarding industry in Port Harcourt and was actively involved in the importation of fishing feeds into Nigeria.
His political journey saw him aligning with APGA, where he contested a House of Assembly election during the tenure of Peter Obi, subsequently becoming the Majority Leader and later serving as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly.
In a bid to represent Awka North and South Local Government Areas in the House of Representatives, Oseke contested an election but was defeated by the late Right Honourable Anayo Nnebe.
He is survived by his wife and children. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
