Ojukwu Was A National Icon – Chime

Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime expressed shock and sorrow over the death of former Biafran leader, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, saying that his passage has robbed the country of one of her most notable historical and political figures.

Chime in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary Chukwudi Achife, described Ojukwu as? a foremost nationalist and activist whose contributions to the political and constitutional development of the country are not only indelible but in some ways inimitable.

He further described the deceased as a symbol of the struggle against injustice, segregation and oppression against any group of people in the country, adding that his epic efforts had helped to lay the foundation for national integration.
