The Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, on Wednesday said all was set for the burial of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu on Friday at his country home in Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Government Area.
Obi gave the indication in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, shortly after inspecting the compound where the late Igbo leader would be interred.
Obi, who was in company with Senator Uche Chukwuemrije and Prof. ABC Nwosu, said he was at the residence to inspect the level of work done.
He said: “We are here just to inspect the level of ongoing work and we are satisfied at what we have seen, even though there a few touches to be done. “If you know this compound before now, you will agree with me that a high level of change can be seen.”
Also speaking, the son of the late Biafra leader, Mr. Emeka Ojukwu (Jnr), said that the preparation was in top gear as there were “more than hundreds of hand assisting”.
“We are 95 per cent ready as you can see from the decoration and road projects within and around this area,” he noted.
