Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma has commiserated with the Agbaso family of Emekuku, Owerri North, Imo State, over the death of their beloved daughter and sister, Chief (Mrs) Zainab Marwa.
Hajia Zainab, former First Lady of Borno State, and first wife of the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig-Gen. Mohammed Buba Marwa reportedly died on Saturday, January 8, 2022, after a brief illness at the age of 66.
Governor Uzodimma, in a statement issued by his Spokesman, Oguwike Nwachuku, said he is particularly pained over Hajia Zainab’s passing, who was the elder sister of his bossom friend, Chief Martin Agbaso.
The Governor not only condoles with Chief Agbaso, but also with his younger brother and former Deputy Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Sir Jude Agbaso and the entire Agbaso family.
Governor Uzodimma described Hajia Zainab’s death as a big loss to the Agbaso family, the people of Emekeuku and Imo State as a whole.
