Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has paid a tribute to
the deceased former Minister of Information, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, who me
he described as a classy and exceptional statesman.
In a press statement signed by his media office in Abuja on
Monday, April 20, Atiku had a lot of good things to say about Chukwumerije, who
died on Sunday evening.
“Senator Chukwumerije was in the class of those gentlemen you
cannot but notice his outstanding qualities even when he stood in the midst of
other men."
“His mannerism came across as someone who was well cultured.
He was very sartorial in style and in presentation; and he never confused you
about the disciplined background of his origin. He was a very worthy ambassador
of his people."
“As a politician, he was very classy and as a statesman he
was exceptional. His death came as a rude shock and I do sincerely pray that
God grants his family, the people of Abia State, friends and colleagues at the
National Assembly the fortitude to bear the loss.”
RIP
