Enugu -The Managing Director, Capital Oil, Mr Ifeanyi Ubah,\u00a0 has condoled with the family of Late Ikemba Nnewi Chief Emeka Odumeggwu Ojokwu and Igbos in general<\/p>\n

Ubah, one of\u00a0 hundreds of sympathisers who thronged Ojukwu\u2019s residence on Friday in Enugu, said he was deeply saddened by the death of Ojukwu whom he described as `an icon and a great leader of Ndigbo\u2019.<\/p>\n

He noted that the greatest tribute any Igbo man could pay to the deceased, was to uphold the virtues and dreams which Ikemba had for his people.<\/p>\n

The former Military Administrator of Borno, retired Col Victor Ozodinobi, on his part, said Ojukwu was an authentic Igbo hero; a good Nigerian, who among his peers, had sufficient courage, a life full of lessons that Ndigbo must document and learn from.<\/p>\n

Prof. Patrick Ogbunude, another sympathiser who signed the condolence register said that he was happy that Ojukwu lived a fulfilled life as he used his wealth of experience to fight for the oppressed.<\/p>\n

He lamented that Ojukwu died when his service was needed most, especially when Ndigbo were preparing to produce the next president of Nigeria, a cause he had been propagating.<\/p>\n

Mr Paul Ngate, Director of Eastern Medical Centre, in his condolence message said, \u201cYou were a hero, the great lgbo leader who would stand and speak for the oppressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith you truth is constant, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike has been receiving the sympathisers on behalf of the family.<\/p>\n

It is expected that Ojukwu\u2019s wife, Bianca will be back to the country on Sunday. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
