Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, and other eminent Nigerians have eulogised the leadership virtues of the former Governor of Anambra State, the late Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife.He stood with us in NADECO. He was among those who started what is called the handshake across the Niger. We are enjoying democracy today because the likes of Ezeife stood for Nigeria.”
In his remarks, the chairman of the National Burial Committee, Okwesilieze Nwodo, said the best way to honour the late Ezeife was for Igbo leaders to live simple and courageous lives like the deceased former governor.
He said, “As we mourn our own Okwadike, let us remind ourselves that death is an inevitable end and live lives that will impact humanity and that we will be remembered for when we leave this world.
“Okwadike lived a life that we are all proud of today, so I admonish you all to imbibe such a lifestyle for the benefit of those we will leave behind at death.”
