Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has described the
former military administrator of the state, late Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, as
a detribalised Nigerian.
Sanwo-Olu appealed to Nigerians to learn from Kanu’s
simplicity, humility, sense of service, and dedication.
He spoke during a night of tribute and celebration of Kanu
held in Onikan, Lagos.
The governor said the death of the former member of the
National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, has created a vacuum.
Kanu, who is a retired Naval Officer and former military
administrator of Imo State, died recently at the age of 77 years.
However, Sanwo-Olu reeled out what the state would do to
honour Kanu.
According to Sanwo-Olu: “We would be having a proper Church
service for him and we would also be having a Day of Tributes for him because
there is nothing that we do that would be enough to celebrate this giant of our
time.
“On behalf of the people and government of Lagos State, I
want to say without any fear or doubt at all that the late Rear Admiral
Ndubuisi Godwin Kanu was indeed a great Nigerian.
“He was a detribalised Nigerian. He was an outstanding
military officer. He was a gentleman and an enviable admiral.”
