A close aide of the Anambra State Governor, Joe Anatune has died just a few days after bagging a major government appointment.
The deceased was the media manager during the electioneering campaigns that ushered in the administration of Chukwuma Soludo.
He was appointed on April 19, 2022, as the MD/CEO of Anambra State Signage and Advertising Agency by the Governor.
Reports say that Anatune lost his life on Saturday a few days after his 62nd birthday, and a little over a week after he bagged the government appointment.
Reacting to the tragic incident, Soludo expressed shock and sadness through a press statement released by Christian Aburime, Chief Press Secretary.
According to him, “Soludo described Joe Anatune as one of the foremost Apostles of the Soludo project with an uncommon strength and courage to deliver on any given assignment.
“He stated further that Joe’s personal sacrifices during his electioneering campaign were not only exceptional but highly commendable.
He spearheaded the Soludo Promoters Forum (SPF) and for two years used the platform to engage the professionals into mainstream politics. The government and the good people of Anambra State will sorely miss Joe Anatune.”
