The Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji,
has given out N20 million as donation to
the endowment fund established by the
state chapter of the People’s Democratic
Party in honor of the eight members who
died in an auto crash during the Anambra
State Gubernatorial Primaries in August.
The governor made the donation during the
commendation service held at the Indoor
Sport Hall of Umuahia Township Stadium, in
honour of the late men.
The service, attended by the families, friends,
well-wishers and presided over by the State

endowment fund which has received
donations from the Anambra, Imo and Ebonyi
state chapters.
As part of efforts to ensure that the families
of the lost men are comforted, Governor Orji
also offered immediate employment to
members of the bereaved families.

back to Abia state from Anambra State
Gubernatorial Primaries are Ernest
