Today the 26th Day of November 2018, we remember with deep sense of Nostalgia, the Transition of our Sage, *His Excellency, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Ezeigbo Gburugburu)* to higher Glory and Abode!
Amuma na Egbe Igwe,* the news of your Transition on the early hours of *26th November, 2011* which was broken to me via a phone call *from your beloved Wife, Her Excellency Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu,* came to me with a jolt and at First, appeared like a Fairy Tale. Momentarily, the World appeared to have come to an end!
Seven Years on, your departure to the World beyond has dawned on us with its full impact. Like the death of all Great Men in History, your ‘ordeath has left a great vacuum in the life of Igbo People.
*Your life of Courage, Resiliance, Patriotic Leadership devoid of Acquisition of Wealth, Firmness, Forthrightness, Love and Focus is greatly missed!*
While we remember your death with grief that has refused to go away, I want to reassure you that no matter how Tempestuous our Journey may seem, our Ship shall sail to the shore as we dreamed together when our Ship set sail!
*May your gallant soul continue to rest in peace in Paradise, Amen!*
Your Ever Loving Disciple,
*Signed:*
*Senator (Dr) Victor Umeh OFR (Ohamadike Ndigbo)*
Senator Representing Anambra Central Senatorial District
