The Labour Party is deeply saddened by the sudden demise of Ahaejiagamba Ndigbo and President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Iwuanyanwu. His passing is a monumental loss to our party, Ndigbo, and the entire nation.
National Chairman, Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure said this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
According to him, Iwuanyanwu was a foremost business man, an exemplary leader, renowned for his integrity, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of Ndigbo and Nigeria.
Abure said his selfless contributions to the promotion of unity, justice, and equality will forever be remembered.
“He worked tirelessly to ensure a peaceful Nigeria. We recall his exploits in the area of aviation, engineering, construction, publishing and sports.
“Until his passing, as the President General of Ohaneze, he championed the Igbo cause and had worked hard to ensure that the South East was not marginalized in both the political and economic sphere.
“The Labour Party will greatly miss his guidance, countless counsels, and visionary leadership. We take solace in the knowledge that his legacy will continue to inspire us to strive for a better Nigeria.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire Ndigbo nation. May his soul rest in peace, and may we find the strength to carry on his noble legacy. (NAN)
