Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a one-time governor of Anambra State and former presidential adviser, lived a life symbolic of his character as a responsible and respectable elder statesman.
In the days when our democracy was put on a hiatus from prolonged military rule, Ezeife took a leading role in the vanguard of the struggle to restore democracy.
As a political leader, Ogwadike, as he was popularly known by his traditional title, exemplified the candour of a change agent who did his best to advance the good of the common man.
As we mourn his exit, his memory shall remind us of his legacies and inspire the contemporary generation of leaders in the country.
I wish his immediate family and the people and government of Anambra the fortitude to bear the loss of an icon.
I also join the league of his admirers worldwide to pray for a peaceful repose of his soul. -AA
