Prince Madumere spoke through his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Uche Onwuchekwa.

“We had the glory of having him emerge as the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide less than one year ago. Unfortunately, he exited at a time his wit, wisdom and experience would have been needed most.

“I console his family, our dear State and the Federal Government.

“I pray God for the repose of his soul,” he said.
