President Bola Tinubu has described the late Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu as a man of proven integrity; defiant to indiscipline, but ever yielding to the highest standards of rectitude.
The President made the statement when he extended his deepest condolences to the Onu family over the passing of Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, the first civilian governor of Abia State; former Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, a principal draughtsman in the founding of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
President Tinubu affirmed that Chief Onu epitomised Nigeria in concord; in wholeness, as the late statesman believed in and defended Nigeria’s unity, advocated peace, and promoted fellowship across the Niger.
The President also condoles with the friends and associates of Chief Onu, Ebonyi and Abia State Governments, and all Nigerians grieving this gaping loss.
Chief Onu passed away on Thursday morning at the age of 73.
