The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of its Deputy Publicity Secretary in Imo State, Hon. Ugochimereze Chinedu Asuzu.
Asuzu, who was also the convener of Ikoro Ndigbo and a leading voice in Igbo sociocultural thought, reportedly slumped and died in the early hours of Wednesday.
In a statement issued by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Chief MacDonald Amadi, the ADC described his passing as a “devastating loss,” recognizing his contributions as a “man of uncommon intellect, conviction, and service.”

A native of Umuma Isiaku in Ideato South Local Government Area, Asuzu was an academically brilliant individual who held degrees in Theology and Political Science and was pursuing a doctorate before his death.
Beyond his role as a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ADC official, he built a reputation as a prolific writer, public affairs analyst, and visiting lecturer. He was also:
- A theologian, entrepreneur, and cultural advocate.
- The founder of Igbo Intelligentsia Renaissance, a platform promoting cultural renewal.
- The founder and national leader of I Stand With ADC, a coalition support group.
The party described him as a loving husband, devoted father, and mentor who inspired many.
The statement read that the passing of Chief Asuzu is “an irreplaceable loss to his family, the ADC family, and the larger Nigerian society.” Burial arrangements will be announced later.
