Peter Obi Lead Delegation of Dignitaries to Annie Okonkwo’s Burial

Dignitaries turned up for the burial of Senator Annie Okonkwo who died on June 7, 2023, ENigeria Newspaper reports.

Senator Annie Okonkwo died following a surgery at the United States of America after a protracted illness that he was said to have suffered for years.

The burial of the late Senator from Ojoto attracted a convergence of dignitaries from all works of life, including the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party and former Governor, Peter Obi and his wife, Margaret.

Other dignitaries who present include, the likes of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Governor Charles Soludo, Governor Alex Otti, distinguished senators, political leaders, ambassadors, captains of industries, and many others.

The burial of Senator Annie Okonkwo, in Ojoto, Anambra State on Wednesday, August 30, 2023 kicked off with a Vigil Mass the previous day which also saw a huge turn out.

ENigeria Newspaper reports that the late Senator lived a simple life of love and peace.  He was a bridge builder who desired peace, peaceful coexistence, and progress in society. He contributed immensely to building the society by helping many people to success, especially the less privileged.

He was deeply patriotic, both as a businessman, and a political leader. Senator Okonkwo’s highly entrepreneurial spirit and political sagacity will be greatly missed in the country today, especially as we embark on the mission of moving the economy from consumption to production.
On behalf of my family, once again, I condole his immediate family, and all of us, who mourn him. May God Almighty, who it pleased to call him home at this time, grant him eternal rest, and grant his family, and all of us, the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.
