Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Works David Umahi has described late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as a man that championed the cause of nation-building and ethical rebirth with unwavering passion.<\/p>\n

In a statement he personally signed, Umahi stated that Iwuanyanwu until his death, \u201cdesired a progressive Nigeria that blossoms in peace, prosperity, unity, and justice\u201d.<\/p>\n

He urged the family of the deceased and indeed the people of the South-East to keep his (Iwuanyanwu) legacies alive by striving to foster the ideals his name represents.<\/p>\n

Umahi said, \u201cI am here today with a deep sense of loss and yet with a gratifying heart for the purposeful life and times of my leader, father, and professional colleague, Chief Engr. Emmanuel Chuwuemeka Iwuanyanwu, CFR, former President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo who was called to eternal glory on 25th July 2024 at the age of 82 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is indeed nostalgic to share the treasurable memories of this great man of God\u2019s purpose, who has departed gloriously at a time of God\u2019s will. I remember the beautiful memories of the splendour of his life endeavours. Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu was a household name in Igbo land and Nigeria at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis name rings a bell in our contemporary society as an experienced and well respected national figure with unwavering political, professional and business track-records and as an advocate of national renaissance who championed the cause of nation-building and ethical rebirth with unwavering passion.<\/p>\n

\u201cChief Iwuanyanwu canvassed unequivocally for equity, equality, value re-orientation, and unconstrained national development..<\/p>\n

\u201cThe life journey of Chief Iwuanyanwu resonates in the fact that God strengthens and equips us for whatever he calls us to do. In business, political and socio-cultural life, he was outstandingly and exceptionally huge, tall, elegant, and captivating.<\/p>\n

\u201cChief Iwuanyanwu will be remembered as a successful captain of industry who impacted humanity through diverse business ventures, including media and advertisement, entertainment and hospitality industry, shipping lines, insurance, and airline business.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy that he has continued to render national service through some of these conglomerates even at death, especially through his media outfit, Champion Newspaper Ltd, currently headed by one of his daughters, Dr. (Mrs.) Nwadiuto Iheakanwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cA political heavy weight who led various national reconciliations and political harmonizations that shaped election outcomes especially in the 3rd and 4th Republics, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu shall be remembered as a prominent political figure from South East extraction whose influence, sagacity, contact and connection cannot be written-off in the political landscape of Nigeria. He was a great voice for national consensus.<\/p>\n

\u201cChief Iwuanyanwu lived and died in active service to his people and humanity. When a leadership gap was created after the death of the then President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Amb. Obiozor, he offered to fill the gap, and he recorded tremendous achievements within so short a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis voice was heard, and his ideals and values were re-vibrated. He died fighting for a just and equalitarian nation. I must state that Nigeria has lost a great gem who came, saw, and conquered. Even in death, the nation needs to celebrate him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough he departed in glory, leaving behind an irreplaceable vacuum, I charge the family and indeed the people of South East to keep his legacies alive by striving to foster the ideals his name represents. May his soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n
