PORT HARCOURT — A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has commended former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Prof Yemi Osinbajo and other dignitaries for attending the burial of Dame Ezinne Mary Orduah Amaechi, mother of former Rivers State governor and ADC Vice-Presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi.
Eze described the attendance as a rare show of love and solidarity with the Amaechi family, saying the presence of political leaders from different backgrounds demonstrated that Nigerians could put political differences aside to honour the deceased.
He particularly appreciated Atiku, the ADC presidential candidate for the 2027 election, and Osinbajo for identifying with Amaechi and his family during the funeral.
However, Eze criticised what he described as attempts by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to create competing events in Ikwerre Local Government Area on the day of the burial.
