The letter read in part, “ All of us in APGA sorely miss you , Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu , our indefatigable leader for life.
“ Your footprints in the sands of time remain an inerasable testimony to your accomplishments while on earth.
“ Your selflessness , oratory , courage and aristocracy singled you out from among your contemporaries.
“ We know you are happy where you are , because you left your house in order before the journey to beyond.
“ We assure you that we will keep the light you lit burning , no matter the intractability of whatever challenges we are made to confront.
“ Your successor, Governor Willie Obiano , has redefined governance in Nigeria through his legacy projects , prudent management of human and material resources , provision of adequate security and regular payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities. Anambra State is now the toast of the world . ”
