The first daughter of the late Gov. Chukwemeka Ezeife, Okwadike, Dr Mrs Ogelue C. Ezeife-Ugorji, has revealed that her beloved father, known for his firm stand on justice and equity, strongly supported the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi because he looked forward to a better and more united nation where every Nigerian would be treated justly and given a fair chance to succeed. He strongly believed that Peter Obi would have made it happen.
Dr. Ezeife-Ugorji made the revelation while paying a glowing tribute to her late father, Gov. Chukwemeka Ezeife, at his Commendation Service in Awka. Gov. Ezeife was the first civilian governor of Anambra State and an elder statesman. As part of his final journey home, a commendation service was held for him in Awka yesterday.
Speaking of his well-lived life, Dr Ugorji stated that her father, Okwadike, held justice and equity very highly. She narrated how Okwadike, during his last visit to the United States of America before his death, revealed that his unwavering support for Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, was borne out of his deep conviction that Obi would build a just and equitable nation.
