He declared a three-day prayer and fasting for divine intervention over the death of two lawmakers at the Anambra House of Assembly.

Oye said this in a statement on Thursday in Awka, following the death of Nnamdi Okafor, Majority Leader of the House

It was reported on Wednesday that the House Majority Leader, Nnamdi Okafor, died at a legislative retreat in South Africa.

The lawmaker slumped and died in the early hours of Wednesday in a Hotel in Sandton City, Johannesburg, South Africa, and was confirmed dead hours later.

Before his death, Okafor, popularly called Akajiugo Awka, represented the Awka South Constituency 1 in the state Assembly.

“I urge people of Anambra and APGA members particularly to embark on 3-day fasting and prayer for peace, and growth over the development at the House and in our party as 2023 draws nearer.

“The times in which we have found ourselves are perilous and call for constant prayer, self-examination, and penance.

“The leadership of the Anambra House of Assembly should join in the prayer and fasting, I see God doing something new in the house soon,” he said.

Oye commiserated with Gov. Chukwuma Soludo, Speaker Uche Okafor, and lawmakers at the assembly over the sudden death of the majority leader.

He prayed to God to console the deceased immediate family, the people of Awka South 1 Constituency, and grant his soul eternal repose in heaven.
