PRESS STATEMENT
The President, Executives, and all members of Nzuko-Ora Nnewi have directed that any form of planned National protest scheduled for August 1, 2024, in Nigeria not be held in Nnewi.
Though we feel the pains of every Nigerian, it becomes imperative as a mark of respect for our very own brother, friend, and kinsman, late Sen Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah (CON) Ebubechukwu Uzo Nnewi, Prince of the Senate, who passed away recently.
The people of Nnewi and beyond are still grappling with the news of his sudden and crude demise and are in a state of mourning and pain. We cannot, at this time, permit any form of protest.
Instead, we would be holding memorials, tributes, and mourning to honor his legacy and contributions to our community. We invite all to join us as we pray for the gentle repose of his soul. His demise is a grave wound in our hearts and very painful to the bone.
It is worthy of note that despite the challenges facing our nation, Nnewi has remained a haven of calm and serenity, especially, through the contribution of late Senator Ubah.
We urge everyone to continue to embrace peace and eschew violence.
Dr Maduka Atueyi
PG Nzuko-Ora Nnewi
