The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday expressed sadness at the death of Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, saying his death robs Nigeria of a veritable voice of wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the ACN described Ojukwu as a man whose own personal history is closely intertwined with that of Nigeria, hence the country\u2019s history will be incomplete without a reference to him.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018\u2019Chief Ojukwu actions in his lifetime impacted hugely on the history of Nigeria and helped shape the country\u2019s destiny. More importantly, his endless quest for fairness and justice was reflected in his unmatched love for his people, and the sacrifices he made on their behalf,\u2019\u2019 it said.<\/span><\/p>\n ACN \u00a0expressed regret that the issues that led to the Nigerian civil war, of which Chief Ojukwu played a pivotal role, had yet to be fully resolved before his passing, saying this must have been a source of immense concern to him in his last days on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n The party said Nigeria can best honour \u00a0Ojukwu\u2019s memories by working hard to resolve the imperfections that still exist in the country\u2019s federalist system, over three decades after the end of the civil war.<\/span><\/p>\n
