Ohanaeze pays condolence visit to Iwuanyanwu’s family

 The Igbo apex socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has paid a condolence visit to the family of its late President General, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, in Owerri, Imo State.

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Dr Alex Ogbonnia, on Wednesday, said the condolence visit, which took place on Tuesday, was led by Amb Okey Emuchay, the Secretary General of the organisation.

Emuchay described the death of the Igbo leader as a blow to the Igbo nation and a death too many, according to the statement, while noting that Iwuanyanwu’s passing has left “everybody in a quandary.”

He said, “Ahaejiagamba was an amazing person in many ways and we will always treasure the time we had with him as our President General.

I was a man who was fervently committed to the Igbo cause. His preoccupation was Igbo in all ramifications. He was a man who had related with people from diverse fields of human endeavour and developed genuine friendships and contacts throughout Igbo land, particularly in many parts of the world. He deployed his business and political acumen in the service of Igbo land.

He had the welfare of the Igbo in his thoughts until his last breath,” the Ohanaeze scribe was quoted as saying.

Emuchay added that the best we can do for Iwuanyanwu to sustain his legacies is to implement the enviable visions and programmes he had articulated in Ohanaeze Ndigbo for a better Igbo land.
