It described the late Council Chairman as “a renowned politician and grassroots-mobilizer” whose sad death occurred during “his second term in office as the Chairman of Nsukka Local Government Area”.

“May the Almighty God grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss and grant his soul eternal rest.”
