 IKPEAZU MOURNS THE DEATH OF DR OGBONNAYA ONU



Immediate Past Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has expressed deep sadness at the death of the first Civilian Governor of the old Abia State, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu who died today in Abuja at the age of 72 years.


Dr. Ikpeazu describes the death of Dr Onu as a massive loss to the  political development of our country and especially, to Ndigbo, whose political cause he championed with passion and zeal.


The former Governor recalls Dr Onu's time as the first democratically elected Governor of the old Abia State, between January 1992 and December 1993, a period that was characterized by peaceful coexistence and the setting of the ideological foundations for the development of Abia State.


According to Dr. Ikpeazu, "Dr Onu was an astute academic and administrator. He was calm, gentle and never played politics without bitterness. After his service in the State, he would go on to the national stage where he held different positions wherein he left legacies of honor and patriotism. His death has left a big vaccum in our political space".

"Perhaps, the greatest political legacy for which Dr Onu will be remembered is that he never played politics with bitterness and remained very consistent in his ideologies. Whether in the ruling party or in the opposition, he remained resolute to his ideals". 


Former Governor Ikpeazu prays God to accept his gentle soul and comfort his family and the entire people of the old Abia State.
