Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on
Thursday paid a condolence visit to family of late former vice president, Dr.
Alex Ekwueme.
Osinbajo, who was accompanied by
the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige met the deceased’s widow,
Beatrice, and children – Mr. Obi Ekwueme, Mrs. Chidi Onyemelukwe and Mr. Ogo
Ekwueme at their Abuja residence.
Speaking to journalists after the
visit, the Vice president said the late Ekwueme “stood out as someone who stood
for greater Nigeria together than apart.”
He said: “For someone who had no
arms, had nothing, he was just a leader who stood out when everyone else seemed
to be afraid of speaking up.
“I think for me that was one of
the most poignant memories because really we owe a duty to our society to
continue to empower ourselves and empower all others to ensure that it is
better.”
