[1] Eze attended the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu, where he obtained Higher National Diploma in Mass Communication.
He proceeded to International Institute for Journalism, IIJ Berlin, Germany, where he graduated on top of the G55 student stream, comprising working journalists from about 14 African countries.
Eze had a very active journalism career, working as a reporter and staff writer with the prestigious The Guardian newspaper of Nigeria between 1983 and 1989, becoming the head of the Insight Team of the newspaper’s features desk before being deployed to head the Guardian Express, an evening paper from the stable, where he broke the news of the deportation of an intellectual and a critic of the military government, Patrick Wilmot, by the then Nigerian military government of General Ibrahim Babangida.
After that government was overthrown by General Sani Abacha in November 1992, Sen. Eze went into the private sector, trying his hand at the produce trade and the real estate business.
[3] Eze competed successfully to be reelected Senator for Enugu North Senatorial District on the PDP platform in the April 2011 elections.
[4] The former senator nursed the ambition of running for the governor of Enugu State in the 2015 general elections under the umbrella of the PDP.
Again, Sen. Eze headed to the electoral tribunal to contest his exclusion from the election even after the court had restored his name as the party’s Bona Fide candidate but was prevailed upon to stay the matter by traditional rulers and political leaders from Enugu State.
