 Professor George Obiozor, President General of the apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has died, according to Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma.

On Wednesday night, he announced this via his Instagram page.

"On behalf of the Government and people of Imo State, I, Senator Hope Uzodimma, the Executive Governor of Imo State, regretfully announce the passing of a great Son of Imo State and Nigeria, Prof George OBIOZOR, President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, worldwide," Uzodimma said.

"Prof George Obiozor, a renowned academic, exceptional diplomat, statesman, and tenacious patriot, died recently after a brief illness."

The passing of this prominent Igbo leader and former Nigerian ambassador to the United States and the State of Israel, is a big loss to Imo State, the South East and the entire Nigeria.

“I have no doubt that both Nigeria and the international community will miss his profound intellectual contributions and wise counsel on national and global issues.

“His burial arrangements will be announced in due course by the family

May his great and gentle soul rest in peace.”

Early on Wednesday, there had been speculations on the death of the elder statesman.
