Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who was also his party’s governorship candidate for the 2023 election has expressed shock over the death of Praise Ajibade, a renowned journalist who, until his death was the Southeast correspondent of Galaxy Television.
Ajibade, who was also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Prudent MSTV, an online news medium, is said to have died in his sleep weekend.
This was contained in a statement issued by Senator Anyanwu’s media aide, Ikenna Onwoha.
“Anyanwu, while describing late Ajibade as a meticulous, dedicated and upright person, said that his sense of humor and adherence to the ethical standards of journalism was second to none.
“Late Ajibade genuinely covered activities and programmes of our campaign Organization during the 2023 Governorship election. He gave his best and projected our image leading to overwhelming supports we got across board. He will be hugely missed! My prayer goes to his family and his colleagues who are deeply touched in this grieving moment!. On behalf of my family and members of my political group, Divine Mandate Movement (DMM), I most heartily sympathize with the family”.
He further condoled with members of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Ajibade’s family for losing such a young man with great prospects in life.
While urging his wife, children and those he left behind to take solace in the Lord, Anyanwu therefore prayed God to give them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss”.
