Former Anambra Governor, Mbadinuju Laid To Rest In Ihiala

As the curtain draws on the life of a former Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, his remains have been laid to rest at his country home of Ndikpa Village, Uli, Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.

Mbadinuju died on April 11, 2023. The journey to his final resting place started with a formal lying-in-state ceremony at the Anambra State Government House, Awka, and afterward, a commendation service where many sons and daughters of Anambra State paid tribute to the late former governor at the International Convention Centre, Awka.

Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, amongst other former governors, distinguished guests, and the people of Anambra State joined in the interdenominational service held to pray for the peaceful repose of his soul.

In his speech at the funeral on Friday, Governor Soludo said the late former Anambra leader left numerous legacy projects scattered across the state.
