Former governor of Abia State and Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr. Orji Kalu, has commiserated with the family of Nigeria’s first military Head of State, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi over the demise of his Chief Victoria Aguiyi-Ironsi.
Describing the death of Mrs Aguiyi-Ironsi as a huge loss to the nation, Kalu urged members of the Aguiyi-Ironsi family to sustain the good deeds of their late matriarch.
In a condolence message, Kalu prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
He said, “The deceased was forthright, kind, urbane and selfless. She was a role model to the womenfolk.
“The late Chief (Mrs) Victoria Aguiyi-Ironsi will be remembered for her good deeds. Her life was remarkable and purposeful.”
He admonished the deceased’s family to take solace in the fact that the late Mrs Aguiyi-Ironsi supported the cause of the people in her endeavours.
