 I Am Always Happy When People Remember Azikiwe For His Contributions To Nigeria’s Unity - Wife


Dame Uche Azikiwe, wife of Nigeria’s first President, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, has called on today’s political leaders to emulate the patriotism and selflessness of Nigeria’s founding fathers, according to report by NIGERIAN TRIBUNE on Tuesday November 18 2025.


Speaking on Sunday night at the Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe Annual Award Lecture held at NICON Luxury Hotel in Abuja, Dame Azikiwe praised the organizers for honoring her late husband’s legacy and urged leaders to reflect on the values that shaped Nigeria’s early political history.


She said the First Republic icons, Dr. Azikiwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and Sir Ahmadu Bello, were driven by national interest and not personal ambition. She emphasized that their contributions to Nigeria’s unity and development remain relevant today.


Dame said, “They are long gone but their legacies live on. They were selfless leaders, not driven by personal interest. I am always happy when people remember Zik for his contributions to Nigeria’s unity.”


She encouraged current politicians to rise above personal gain and embrace the spirit of service that defined the nation’s founding era.
