An astute politician, who at one time or the other was a member of the PDP and APC, under which he contested for various positions, including a Senatorial seat to represent Owerri zone, he reportedly died of complications connected to COVID-19. He had also aspired to become the Governor.
Until his death, Ojinere, a native of Ahuazu, Mbaise, held the chieftaincy title of Aka ji Ugo 1 of Mbaise.
