Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide is saddened by the sudden death of Mrs. Ifeoma Kalu, saying that it was a rude shock to the community.

This is contained in a condolence message addressed to her husband, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr Alex Ogbonnia, in Enugu.

According to Ogbonnia, the former Abia State First Lady was described as a kind-hearted, disciplined, diligent, brilliant, wholesome, and virtuous woman of substance; a physician whose skill and expertise found full expression.

“It is, therefore, painful that death will strike at the age she should enjoy the rewards of her services to mankind.

“Although death is an inevitable reality for all mortals, it is the reminisces that we shall forever miss her beauty, charm, warmth, care, passion and the invaluable services she rendered to humanity while alive that throw us into deep mourning,” Ogbonnia said.

He added that the Chairman, Council of Elders, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, and indeed all the organs of Ohanaeze Ndigbo share “this moment of grief with our brother and son, Orji Uzor”.

“While we send our condolences to the Distinguished Senator, the children and the extended family, we also pray to the Almighty to grant the soul of Mrs Ifeoma Orji Uzor Kalu eternal rest in his bosom,” he prayed.

Dr Ifeoma Uzor Kalu died on Monday, April 3, 2023, in the United States of America, aged 61.
