The Peoples Democratic Party has announced the death of its National Woman Leader, Prof. Stella Effah-Attoe.

Effah-Attoe, a member of the PDP National Working Committee, according to the family, died on Sunday after a brief illness.

PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Sunday, described  Effah-Attoe’s death as a huge blow to the nation.

The statement read in part “Prof. Effah-Attoe was very brilliant, towering and magnificent in all spheres, but yet lived an exceptionally humble, pleasant, sociable, gracious, compassionate and loving life. She touched lives in many positive ways and made pivotal contributions towards the growth and development of our Nation.

“She was a dedicated teacher, politician, author, and fearless mobilizer who always stood for the truth; fought for justice, equity, and fairness and gave her energy, passion, and resources in the pursuit of the rights of women in Nigeria.

“As the National Woman Leader of our great Party, she brought an uncommon intellectual aptitude into Party administration, especially in mobilizing women for greater participation in politics and governance.

“The PDP will always remember her tireless contributions alongside other PDP leaders in the effort to rebrand and strengthen our great Party in the build-up to the 2023 general elections in line with the mission to rescue, rebuild, and redirect our nation from misrule.”

Ologunagba who said Effah-Attoe’s death has left a huge vacuum in the PDP, added that they take solace in the fact that she lived a devout Christian life, triumphed in her chosen path, and left indelible marks in the service of the Nation and humanity.
