Alex Ekwueme’s State Burial: FG Inaugurates Committee by Anstalk(f): 6:18am On Dec 06, 2017

The Federal Government has inaugurated an 11-member committee for the state burial for late former vice-president Alex Ekwueme.

What happened:

Ekwueme had died in a London hospital while receiving treatment.

The former Vice President was flown to London after President Buhari ordered his treatment abroad.

Ekwueme was first admitted at an hospital in Enugu State after he developed heart disease.

What is happening:

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, while inaugurating the committee, urged them to ensure a befitting state burial for Ekwueme.

Mustapha said: “Owing to the top public office he once held in Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari thought it befitting to organise a state burial for him.

“This is also in keeping with the tradition in that regard as was done to the late Admiral Augustus Aikhomu, former Chief of General staff that died in 201.

“Same for the late Admiral Mike Akhigbe, former Chief of General staff who died in 2013.

“The only difference now is the absence of the Nigerian Navy in the burial committee.

“The Nigerian Navy had played prominent roles in the burial activities of former chiefs of general staff, who incidentally were both at different time, chiefs of naval staff.”

Members of the committee are Roy Ugo, secretary of the committee; Babatunde Fashola, minister of power, works and housing; Lai Mohammed, minister of information; Kemi Adeosun, minister of finance; Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment.

Other members are Willie Obiano, govenor of Anambra; Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police; Lawal Daura, director-general of the Department of State Security Service (DSS); Goodheart Obi Ekwueme and Osita Chukwulobelu.

Is he a state property!?

FG has no business with any past leader burial arrangement.He is a private citizen like every other person.

All these mundane activities slow down the efficiency of Government.

How does a government find it in their consciousness to PUBLICISE the inauguration of a committee to organise a state funeral?

When the Statesman was ill, the best thing they could think of was to politicise it and claim that all courtesies would be extended (things that the individual is statutorily entitled to).

We should NEVER have to walk this path again as a Nation. Facilitating the rise and accommodation of wilfully deceitful persons as leaders.

Why wasting money on a state burial when the 2nd Niger bridge is not completed and there are still red mould in the yeast

Re: Alex Ekwueme’s State Burial: FG Inaugurates Committee by Allwility: 9:24am On Dec 06, 2017

Alex Ekwueme was a great leader and championed the cause of democracy not just in Nigeria but Africa. He truly deserves a state burial and some comments here shows total disrespect to a man that stood up against goons like Abacha. Something these cowards who hide behind a keyboard can never do in their lifetime.

May the labor of our heroes past never be in vain.

This lame show of bitterness here will not be effective. Why don't you just buy a bottle of Sniper and end it all. That's what bitter, frustrated people do. I was going to advise you blow your brains out but I realised you have not the balls to do it that way.
