Obi, who came back from France via London on Saturday, but had to travel back to London \u00a0the same day with Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Jnr on being told of Ojukwu\u2019s death, said the late Biafran leader deserved the best, given his selfless sacrifice.

The governor is expected back in the country today. He will formally inform President Goodluck Jonathan of Ojukwu\u2019s death.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was gathered that Ojukwu\u2019s body has been deposited in a mortuary through the combined efforts of his widow, Bianca, and Obi\u2019s wife, Margaret, whom Bianca telephoned immediately his condition became critical.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ojukwu\u2019s son, Emeka, has thanked Nigerians for the wonderful \u201csolidarity\u201d and \u201clove\u201d shown to his father.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
