THE first daughter of the first civilian governor of Anambra State, the late Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Dr. Ogelue Ezeife - Ugorji, has revealed that her father, known for his firm stand on justice and equity, strongly supported the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi.
Ezeife, she said was looking forward to a better and more united Nigeria where everyone would be treated justly and given a fair chance to succeed.
Speaking during the state burial ceremony organized by the Anambra State government in Awka, she said her father strongly believed that Peter Obi would make a good president for the country.
She said her father held justice and equity very highly, and narrated how Okwadike, during his last visit to the United States of America before his death, revealed that his unwavering support for Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, was borne out of his deep conviction that Obi would build a just and equitable nation.
She described her late Okwadike as a man of wisdom, a lover of peace, and an emblem of unity, adding that her father was a true Nigerian who related to everyone irrespective of tribe or religion.
She prayed to God to grant her beloved father eternal rest, hoping that a just and equitable Nigeria he yearned for would eventually be actualized.
