The Governor of Abia state, Dr. Alex Otti, has expressed shock and sadness over the death of the First Civilian Governor of the Old Abia state, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu who passed on a few hours ago. Dr. Onu was the governor before the creation of Ebonyi out of the old Abia and Enugu states.
Otti described Onu’s death as a huge loss to Abia State, Ebonyi State, the Igbo nation and Nigeria as a whole. He said Onu is one of such living statesmen with the character, carriage and statesmanly disposition required to reposition the nation for the better.
