A HEARTFELT THANK YOU: HON. ETIOKWE THANKS ABIANS FOR HONORING HIM.
“I am indebted to you.” ETIOKWE thanks the public on the successful burial of his mother, Late Deaconess Ezi-Uma Mba Nwoke.
With a heart full of appreciation, I humbly wish to salute all who despite tight schedules found time to stand by my family, before, during and after the most gruelling and trying time of my life: the demise and burial of my dear mother, Late Deaconess Ezi-Uma Mba Nwoke Anyaorie (Nee Nma Olumba), who was lowered on Saturday, 27th July, 2024 in Asaga Ohafia, Ohafia Local Government of Abia State.
The show of love was enormously overwhelming as it was practically impossible to personally interface with the mammoth crowd that trooped out in support of my family.
Most profoundly, I wish to thank His Excellency, Dr Alex Chioma Otti OFR, Executive Governor of Abia State, who from Day One kept in touch with humongous encouragements, despite demanding State activities. Dear Governor, the Etiokwe Ohafia Dynasty salutes you.
The Deputy Governor and my dear brother, His Excellency Engr Ikechukwu Lekwachi Emetu FNSE, who was part of the plan till the end, can not be waived off the grid. I am grateful, my brother.
Hon Ibe Okwara Osonwa, Member, Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency, I salute you for your visibility all through the trying time. Thank you very much.
