*Says a gentleman left a turbulent world

Abuja- President-elect, General Muhammadu
Buhari has described the death of Ambassador
Chukwuma Bamidele Azikiwe as a sad development
and an exit of a great Nigerian who was brought
up in the best tradition of national unity and
genuine African values.

General Muhammadu Buhari in a condolence
message made available to the media in Abuja
yesterday said that “with the demise of
Chukwuma Azikiwe, a gentleman has left a
turbulent world. Ambassador Azikiwe was a
thorough –bred Nigerian citizen who chose a
private life after a distinguished diplomatic
career in Nigeria’s Foreign Service. There is no
doubt that it was Ambassador Azikiwe’s humane
and refined qualities that made it possible for him
to step into the big traditional shoes of his great
father – Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe as the Owelle of
Onitsha.”

The President-elect said with the demise of the
Owelle, he had lost a friend who cared for him and
often found the time to visit at home in Kaduna.

While condoling with the Azikiwe Family, General
Muhammadu Buhari urged the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe
Nna’meka Ugochukwu Achebe and the entire
people of Onitsha Royal Kingdom to take heart and
bear the loss with fortitude.
