First civilian governor of Abia State and presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 presidential election, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is dead.

Onu’s last major public appearance was during the APC primary election in 2022 when he alleged injustice against the people of Southeast.
Former president, Muhammadu Buhari, had in November 2015 appointed Onu as the Minister of Science and Technology.
The former governor, however, resigned his position on May 6, 2022 to join the APC presidential race, which he lost to President Bola Tinubu.
Recall that the late 72-year-old former minister contested for the presidential flag of the All Progressive Congress (APC) during the 2023 general election, but lost to President Bola Tinubu.
Onu was a Nigerian politician, author and engineer until his death in April 2024.
