Former Deputy Speaker of Federal House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha CON (Omenkahuruanya), has expressed sadness over the demise of Chief (Engr.) Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu (Ahaejigamba Ndigbo).
While expressing his shock on the passing of the elder statesman and philanthropist, Rt. Hon. Ihedioha said, “I received with great pain the news of the passing of our revered leader, elder statesman and the president general of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Chief Dr Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Iwuanyanwu, MFR, OFR, CFR, KSC (Ahaejiagamba Ndi Igbo), in the early hours of Thursday 25th July.”.
“Remarkably, Chief Iwuanyanwu lived a fulfilled life of accomplishment in business, politics, the church, sports and community leadership. He was outstanding in many respects and a role model to many.”
“As president general of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, it is worthy to note that he raised the bars of leadership. He was truly a pathfinder and astute in various fields of endeavour.”
“Chief Iwuanyanwu unarguably died as a patriot and a true defender of his people. He stands out as one of the very few Nigerians with triple National honours and was indeed a Pan-Nigerian. He will be greatly missed.”
“On behalf of my family, I extend my condolences to the Iwuanyanwu family, Ndi Imo, Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo and the entire Igbo race.
Ahaejiagamba Ndi Igbo, may your soul rest in peace. Amen!”
