Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State on Wednesday bemoaned the sudden death of one time military administrator of old Imo State, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, describing it as a rude shock.
Admiral Kanu died in Lagos on Wednesday at the age of 78.
Governor Uzodimma said Admiral Kanu was one of Nigeria’s finest and brightest who devoted his energy for the good of the country.
He said Admiral Kanu got to the pinnacle of his profession by dint of hard work and remained committed to the discipline in the Armed Forces till his death.
Governor Uzodimma said Admiral Kanu also joined forces with pro-democracy protagonists around the world and all apostles of democracy in Nigeria to preach for a better society anchored on rule of law.
The governor regretted that he died at a time Nigeria in general and Ndigbo in particular needed his services more.
He therefore condoled with the family, his Isiukwuato community in Abia State, the Abia State government, the federal government and the Armed Forces for the irreparable loss.
Governor Uzodimma prayed God to comfort the widow, the immediate family members and numerous friends of Admiral Kanu and grant them the grace to pull through the shock.
