One of the very vocal lawmakers at the Imo state House of Assembly, Arthur Egwim, is dead.
Egwim died on Monday, some days after he underwent a surgery in a Lagos hospital.
He fell ill recently and underwent surgery but died afterwards, a source who didn’t want to be mentioned confided in newsmen on Monday night.
Until his death, he was the member representing Ideato North Constituency at the state House of Assembly.
He was first elected into the state House of Assembly in 2015 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and was reelected in 2019 with the Action Alliance party.
He contested the House of Representatives seat in the just-concluded National Assembly elections under the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance but failed.
A lawyer by profession, the deceased was a vocal voice in the eight and night assemblies of the state parliament.
