Prominent leaders, including Edwin Clark, Senator Ben Obi, and Mike Ozekhome, SAN, have urged the Federal Government to immortalize the late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, by naming a public institution after him. During a condolence visit to his family in Abuja, they praised his contributions to national unity and justice.
Clark, represented by Ambassador Godknows Igali, emphasized Iwuanyanwu’s role as a leader beyond the Igbo community, advocating for a united and just Nigeria. Ozekhome also suggested naming a significant institution in his honor. Iwuanyanwu’s burial is set for November 1, with tributes beginning in mid-October.
