Press Statement

7th June, 2024



The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lamented the  demise of Mrs, Deborah Ezenwanyi Alade. She was the wife of a notable party stalwart, Rear Admiral Samuel Ilesanmi Alade (Rtd,)

The unfortunate development occured a few days ago in New York City, United States, after a brief illness. She was 63 years old, and hailed from Abia State.

The chapter described the news of her passing as shocking and painful, and called on the retired general to take solace in the worthy and godly life the departed lived while on earth.

The party prayed God to grant the families, friends, and the Redeemed Christian Church of God the needed fortitude to deal with the irreparable loss.

The late Mrs, Alade served Nigeria meritoriously, and retired as Deputy Director of Education at the Ministry of Defence. She was a committed wife, mother, and devoted Christian, who impacted lives positively in diverse ways.

The chapter further prayed God to overlook her errors, and grant her gentle soul eternal rest.
