Buhari Pays Tribute To Late Ohanaeze Leader Chief Iwuanyanwu

Former President Muhammadu Buhari says the passing away of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the President-General of the Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo, is a sad event for Nigeria, as highlighted the latter’s contributions to journalism, sports, politics and nation-building.

Buhari, according to a statement signed by his media aide, Garba Shehu, said “He (Iwuanyanwu) was a visionary who revolutionized the nation’s media and sports. He made notable strides in the media industry, construction, sports, business, and politics.

“I had several opportunities to interact with him to know about his passionate commitment to the unity, peaceful coexistence, and the development of Nigeria.

His rich contributions have left indelible memories on the media, sports, politics, and business where he made extraordinary achievements.

My condolences to his family, friends and associates, and the entire people of the South-east. His death is a loss to the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the former president said.
