Prof. Gregory Ikechukwu Ibe, founder and proprietor of Gregory University in Uturu, Abia State, dies at 63. Multiple outlets report that his death follows a prolonged period of illness, with his family confirming the news.
Ibe is also identified as the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate for Abia ahead of the 2023 election. While reports agree on his political candidacy and the circumstances of his death—after health challenges—they differ mainly in the level of personal and biographical detail. One account emphasizes that the family says funeral arrangements are pending, while others focus on his age and the period of illness. The outlets do not provide further medical specifics beyond describing it as a prolonged battle with health issues.
