Mbah, Azikiwe, others extol late Iwuanyanwu as funeral rites begin

Some notable Nigerians have described the late President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, as a “quintessential statesman” who committed and devoted his life to pursuing peace and progress in Nigeria.

They paid their tributes during the Service of Songs held on Saturday in Enugu in honour of the late Mr Iwuanyanwu.

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, in his tribute, described the late Mr Iwuanyanwu as ‘an Iroko’ whose exit would be greatly felt across the country, especially in Igboland.
