She was 90.
She died Thursday in Abuja, according to a statement by the ex-governor.
The former governor said funeral arrangements “will be announced in due course.”
“Our Matriarch transits to eternity,” Mr Ihedioha said in a Facebook post. “After a fruitful and eventful life of God’s abundant mercies and grace, our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Dame Dorothy Nsonma Ihedioha (nee Okereke), gloriously transited to eternity on Thursday, 20th April 2023 in Abuja, with her family by her side.”
