He got into the presidency richer and came out poorer. A selfless leader! Dr. Alex Ekwueme, First Vice President of Nigeria. RIP!
Today, I join Ndigbo and the entire nation to mourn the passing of one of Nigeria’s most illustrious sons, H.E. Dr. Alex Ekwueme, our first elected Vice-President. As we mourn his death, we celebrate his dedication and service to the development of our country.’
It was just about two months ago that I last saw Dr. Alex Ekwueme. He was physically present at the Supreme Court for the induction of the new SANs. Such a fine gentleman. His passage is a big loss to the country as a whole. Deep commiseration to the Ekwueme family.’
The former Vice President, who was a professional architect, is survived by among others, his son, Pastor Obi ‘Goodheart’ Ekwueme.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
