The Niger Delta socio-political organisation said Iwuanyanwu’s death at this crucial juncture in the nation’s history represented a monumental loss not only to the Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo but to the entire country.
National chairman of PANDEF, Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien, in a statement, said the association was “greatly pained” by Iwuanyanwu’s death, noting that they had not just lost an exemplary leader, but a true patriot and a highly esteemed statesman.
He said Iwuanyanwu in his capacity as president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, was unwaveringly dedicated to the collective principles of equity, justice, fairness and inclusivity in the pursuit of a better Nigeria.
