A lawmaker, Godwin Akwaji representing Obudu State Constituency in the Cross River State House of Assembly is dead.
Akwaji was said to have died allegedly from coronavirus-related complications at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital on Thursday.
A source who is a family member reacting to his death on her Facebook wall, said, “My brother-in-law nursed him for the last two weeks up until yesterday.
“The government needs to tell us what killed him. He died at the isolation centre I suppose, so we still need to know the facts. My inlaw is self-isolating.”
Akwaji was well-known in his constituency and was a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
