The people of Bonny Local Government Area in Rivers State have been thrown into mourning following the untimely exit of their council’s chairman, David Irimagha.
Irimagha died few days after celebrating the first 100 days into his second term in office.
The chairman died Saturday at an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt, reports say.
Though there was no official confirmation from his family, the Bonny Local Government Council or his party, chairman was a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Irimagha had reportedly been sick for a while and had been complaining about not feeling healthy.
Another source attributed it to COVID-19 complications, saying that he was diagnosed and treated for the infection, but he went into a coma and later passed.
Irimagha was a one-time leader of the Bonny Legislative Assembly and was elected for a second term in office on Saturday, April 17, and subsequently sworn into office by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Thursday, June 17 at Government House, Port Harcourt.
