The Eze Ndigbo of Mekong (king of six nations) Eze Amb Uzochukwu Jerome Ezeneche ( Eze Nwatagwuosimiri) has joined other well meaning Nigerians to commiserate with the family of President General Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Late Amb. George Obiozor who died on the 28th of December after a brief illness.
In a statement made available to the media, HRH Ezeneche on behalf of Ndigbo in Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Thailand which made up Mekong Region in Asia, prayed for God to give the deceased family, and Ndigbo the fortitude to bear the great loss.
While paying glowing tributes to the late Ohanaeze leader, HRH Amb. Ezeneche recalled that Amb Obiozor a one-time Ambassador of Nigeria to the United States used his experience as international diplomat to bring challenges facing Ndigbo to the fore front. ” Our late leader was able to raise the problem of Igbo marginalisation among other ethnic nationality that makes up Nigeria resulting in some progress made in area of landmark infrastructures in the south east. Late Amb. Obiozor took mantle of leadership at a very trying period for Ndigbo when problem of insecurity and agitation was at its peak. But he was able to tactically address the challenges as they come patriotically without neglecting the Igbo race that he leads.”
Furthermore, HRH Amb Ezeneche said the late Obiozor was able to promote Igbo culture in the Diaspora resulting in more Igbo in Diaspora identifying with Ohanaeze worldwide.
He added that the entire Igbo in Mekong are with the Obiozor family and Ohanaeze Ndigbo at this period of mourning.
