ACN Mourns Ojukwu, Onah

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Rivers State chapter, has joined the family, the government and people of Anambra State and the entire Igbo race at home and abroad to mourn the death of former Biafran Warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

The party has also sympathised with the publisher of the Vanguard Newspaper as well as management and staff of the newspaper and the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), particularly the Rivers State Chapter of the Federated Correspondents Chapel over the death of Mr George Onah, Port Harcourt Bureau Chief of the Vanguard Newspaper.

In a statement in Port Harcourt signed by the party Publicity Secretary, Jerry Needam, the party described the Ex-Biafran Warlord as a fearless and courageous warrior who deserves national recognition.

The party said Ojukwu who emerged as one of those sent to the constitutional conference would be remembered for his love for the Igbos and Nigeria at large.

“At the constitutional conference Ojukwu stood for the restructuring of the Nigerian federation and the restoration of the pride of Nigerians”, the party recalled.

The party further recalled that Ojukwu’s contributions at the conference were enormous and remarkable.

The ACN in Rivers State described Mr George Onah as a well baked practising journalist who made a mark in his chosen career.

He wished the families of Ojukwu and George Onah the fortitude to bear the great losses and prayed God to grant them peaceful rest in His bossom.
