Returning home from the US to the news of the lamentable demise of Prof. Ikonne, I must say is the most startling welcome I have received in my life. I remember seeing him last October during the birthday of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.
He was full of life and brimming with smiles, that was why his ill-health came to me as a surprise. We have been praying and wishing for him to get back on his feet but it pleases the Lord to call him home.
Abia has lost a scholar, technocrat and one of it’s finest in Prof. Ikonne. Too sad you couldn’t live to actualise your dream and vision for Abia through your TIGER Agenda.
I condole with the Ikonne family, please take heart and accept this as the will of God. May He strengthen and comfort you!
To my governor, take heart God knows best, may He give you the wisdom to lead us at such a dark hour as this.
To my PDP family, accept my sympathy, I implore us to rally around the leadership of the party and give all necessary support so we can rebound even stronger from this tragedy.
Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa,
Chairman Abia PDP Campaign Advisory Council.
