Igwe Umenyiora

Buhari mourns: On behalf of the Nigerian Government, the President has extended heartfelt commiserations to the Governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano, the Ogbunike community in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State and the Umenyiora family over the passing of the monarch, Igwe John Ositadimma Umenyiora, Ezedioramma 1 of Ogbunike and Okpala Iguedo who was a symbol of humanitarianism, progressiveness and visionary leadership.


President Buhari recalls that His Majesty, throughout his 44 years on the throne, demonstrated his deep affection and love for the betterment of his subjects. He also added that the monarch was always working tirelessly all to improve the well-being of his people through education, commerce, economic empowerment and development.
The President recalls that a worthy son of Ogbunike, the Oyi of Oyi, the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo was his running mate in his first bid to run for the office of the president of Nigeria in 2003.
