the death of Onyekachi, who was in his early forties as “tragic, devastating
and heart-breaking” and urged his family to bear the irreparable loss with
fortitude.
“Death has been accepted as a
necessary end, but Onyekachi’s death on Friday at the prime of his life is most
painful and a great loss to his family and Ebonyi.
“We pray God to console his
family and grant his soul eternal rest.
“It is most painful to accept
this reality of life’s nothingness and further accept the glaring reality that
Onyekachi is dead.
“To Chief Elechi, he was a son
but to us, he was a teacher, a young man who rose to the top of his career and
remained dedicated to his duties.
“I convey my deepest condolences
to you and your entire family on behalf of the patriotic citizens of Ebonyi,”
the statement read.
The governor, in the statement,
urged the deceased’s children to emulate the good virtues of their father and
