The first governor to be installed by the Uba family that helped to drain Anambra state coffers and also the only one-term governor in Anambra so far (Soludo may be the second)

I can't forget how during his regime both secondary and primary school teachers went on strike for one full academic year because their salaries were withheld

It was the terrible things Ndi Anambra saw under him that made them choose Peter Obi who turned the state around from being "Home for all criminals" to the "Light of the nation"

May his gentle soul rest in peace

I can't forget how he owed pensioners and when they protested at the government house at Awka he labeled them "dead woods"

I remember Odera's popular slogan "it shall be well with Anambra state"

Former Anambra State governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju has passed away.

This was stated in a statement made available to PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday by Chetachi Mbadinuju, his first son.

We announce the passing of our father, grandfather, uncle, friend, and associate, Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, a former governor of Anambra State and elder statesman, with heavy hearts but the deepest gratitude to God for a life well lived, he said in the statement.

The former governor "passed on peacefully" on Tuesday morning at the National Hospital Abuja, according to Mr. Chetachi, a lawyer.

The patriarch, he said, passed away at the age of 78.

He continued, "At this difficult time, we pray for God's grace and mercy upon him and those left to mourn him.

He promised that his funeral arrangements would be announced by the family in due course.

Between May 29, 1999, and May 29, 2003, Mbadinuju, who is now deceased, led Anambra State as governor on a Peoples Democratic Party platform.(PDP).

He ran for re-election as governor on the PDP platform, but was controversially denied the party's ticket due to an ongoing internal party crisis.

Later, Chris Ngige would secure the party's nomination for governor ahead of the state's governor election on April 19, 2003.

Mr. Mbadinuju left the PDP after being denied the party's nomination and joined the now-defunct Alliance for Democracy, where he later became the party's governorship candidate but lost in the general election.

The PDP's Mr. Ngige, who is currently Nigeria's Minister of Labour and Employment, was named the election's victor, though three years later the Court of Appeal in Enugu dismissed him.

Between 1979 and 1980, Mr. Mbadinuju worked as a personal assistant to Jim Nwobodo, a former governor of the former Enugu State. From 1980 to 1983, he performed the same duties for Shehu Shagari, a former head of state of Nigeria.

Be careful of what you wish for

LeoDeKing:

The death of Chinwoke Mbadinuju, former governor of Anambra state, was just reported. The least expected of you is to type RIP.

No, you ain't bothered about his death or wishes of peaceful rest. What bothers you is Buhari, who has nothing to do with his death. Maybe if Buhari hadn't visited London, Chinwoke Mbadinuju wouldn't have died.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

This is one of the nationalists who fought for the unity of these country. Though Biafra by birth but he knew the implication of beating the drum of war in a polarized country like Nigeria. I think elders in that region should warn those young guys inviting impunity to live with caution. Nigeria is too sensitive for someone to just talk or write carelessly. A word they say is enough for the wise.

That is left for fate to decide

PerfectJUSTICE:
Apart from being a former governor he left no other imprint in the state. Rest in peace to the dead tho

UNDFTD:


Jim Nwobodo was NEVER a governor of Enugu State! He was the governor of Anambra State, which included the current[b] Enugu State[/b] and part of Ebonyi State. Get your facts straight!

malaria:

Did you read where he stated former Enugu state. The statement already explains all
