Late Henry U. Emeana of Naze, Owerri North Local Government Area, Imo State, who passed on at the age of 74, was laid to rest yesterday at Naze, Owerri, in a ceremony that attracted prominent politicians from both Abia and Imo states.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the late Emeana was the father-in-law of the Ikwuano APC House of Assembly candidate, Ugwumba Chika Ishionwu, a factor that drew wide political attendance to the burial programme.
Among dignitaries present were Ishionwu’s Campaign Director-General, Comrade Nubuisi Kalu; the APC Oboro Ward 1 Chairman, High Chief Chijioke Ahamefula; the CEO of CDA News Nigeria, Comrade Chinweuba Anyaragbu; the Owerri Municipal APC LGA Chairman,Evangelist Dikachi Agoawike; and the APGA federal House of Representatives candidate for Owerri Federal Constituency Chief Ebere Ewelike ( PhD).
Members of the Ndinne Chika group and the For Us By Us Youth Movement were also present at the event, joining family members, friends and well-wishers to celebrate the life of the deceased.
The burial, which brought together political stakeholders across party lines, reflected the deep ties and goodwill enjoyed by the Emeana family within the Owerri and Ikwuano political circles.
CDA News Nigeria extends condolences to the Emeana family and the Ishionwu household over the loss.
