President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday expressed his condolences to the family of Nigeria’s first President, Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe, over the passing away of his first son, Chief Chukwuma Bamidele Azikiwe.
The president’s condolence, which was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, also commiserated with the government and people of Anambra State, and the immediate family of the deceased.
Mr. Jonathan believed that the late Azikiwe, who was also the Owelle Onitsha, lived a fulfilled life by sustaining the humanitarian and leadership legacies of his father as a mobiliser, leader, philanthropist and a highly respected voice in his community.
The president prayed that the Almighty God will grant the soul of the departed peaceful rest, and comfort the family he left behind.
