Senator Austin Akobundu representing Abia Central Senatorial District, has described the demise of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as a huge loss to Nigeria.
In a statement released Saturday by
his media office, Akobundu said Chief Iwuanyanwu died at a time Nigeria
needed him most as his tireless and patriotic efforts towards achieving a
more united, peaceful and progressive Nigeria were already yielding
results and needed to be consolidated.
He
extolled him as an elder statesman whose commitment to the socioeconomic
wellbeing of the people was of utmost priority, hence, he founded
business concerns where Nigerians from all walks of life were gainfully
engaged.
"As President General of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, Chief Iwuanyanwu was already achieving historic feats for the
people. His dedication to the Nigeria Project will forever remain
indelible in the annals of our history.
"We
have indeed lost an uncommon patriot! I pray God to grant his soul
eternal rest and give the family he left behind the fortitude to bear
this painful loss," he concluded.
