Rep Matthew Nwogu, a Federal lawmaker, paid a condolence visit to George Aluo, Chairman of the Nigeria National League (NNL), on Tuesday, following the passing of Aluo's mother, Ezinne Bernadette Aluo. Aluo lost his mother on July 11. At the visit, Nwogu, who represents Aboh Mbaise/ Ngor Okpala in the National Assembly, expressed his condolences to the Aluo family, assuring them that Mama Bena, as she was lovingly called, led a fulfilled life.

Nwogu also commended Aluo's work with the second-tier league, acknowledging the significant progress made under his leadership.

Aluo, in response, thanked Nwogu for taking the time to visit him during a busy political season. He also praised the lawmaker for providing financial support and empowering members of the Umuohiagu autonomous community.
