It has just been reported that former Biafran leader Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu has died in a UK hospital where he had been receiving treatment for stroke he suffered late last year.
Ojukwu,78, shot into prominence when he led a sectional group into the civil war between 1967 and 1970. An astute businessman and politician, Ojukwu was the national leader of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) on whose platform he once contested for Nigeria’s presidency.
He was survived by a wife, Bianca, and many children.
May his soul rest in peace.
u are truely a hero rest in peace my warlord
may his soul and d soul of all d faithfull departed rest in peace with the lord amen…Odumegwu u are indeed a hero.
Hero yes…warlord i dont think so. What a rude way to refer to somebody who stood up for his people. Warlord as a word carries many negative conotations and therefore should not be used in this article. I can think of many people who i would like to refer to as warlords but that neither here nor there. May God bless and comfort his family at this sad time.
Yes his is the best and the great hero who fight for his people s freedom which we are still expeting for the good. I will like if all the IGBO will understand the good fight DIM OJUKWU has done for us. we will stand for truth.
To a great hero who fought for our great country Nigeria. I was shocked to d sudden death of an icon. Dr Ojukwu on d internet. May his soul rest in perfect in peace. Amen
