In a telephone interview Wednesday evening, the Press Secretary of the Port Harcourt City LG council, Bolingo Elenwo, disclosed that Ejekwu, popularly called Mayor, slumped and died around 3 am in his house on Peter Odili Road, Trans-Amadi Residential Layout in Port Harcourt.
Elenwo also stated that burial arrangements were yet to be made, since the family members were yet to meet and take decisions, while describing the sudden death of the healthy and energetic caretaker chairman as shocking and pathetic.
It was learnt that Ejekwu and 22 other Rivers LG chairmen were on Tuesday evening at the Government House, Port Harcourt, in a crucial meeting with Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
The deceased LG boss was inaugurated about two months ago, along with twenty other caretaker chairmen, excluding the chairmen of Degema (Kalabari) and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGAs of Rivers state, who are yet to serve out their tenure.
