MARY NWANCHONU ALOBU LOWERED TO THE MOTHER EARTH

The Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt Hon. Chief Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has encouraged the family of Mr Nwafor Alobu to sustain the legacies of honour and integrity, which their late mother was known for, as a way of immortalizing her. He said this at Affia-Nwalobu Playground, Enyim Okpoitumo, in Ikwo Local Government Area of the State, during the funeral service of Late Mrs Mary Nwanchonu Alobu.

The Governor, who was represented by the Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Moses Ije Odunwa, said that the deceased will be remembered for her resourcefulness, uprightness, and discipline, which she instilled in her children. He consoled the bereaved family, saying that their Late Mother has lived a life that is worthy of emulation, adding that the spirit of the Late Woman will be happy, if they sustain the legacies she left behind.

"The Governor's message is that, the family of Alobu should take heart. Mama has lived a life that is worthy of emulation. Today, she is gone, but let us not depart from her legacies. Mama will be happy if you sustain the legacy she left behind."

The Governor described the deceased as a dedicated christian, who introduced Deeper Life Bible Church within her area, and thus, was widely known as "Nwanyi-Deeper Life" in Ikwo lingo, and remained consistent in faith till her demise.

Late Mrs Mary Nwanchonu Alobu until her demise, was an industrious and enterprising woman, who was widely known for her peaceful approach to issues, and a mother to Barr Wilfred Alobu, the Special Assistant to the Chief Judge of Ebonyi State.

The burial attracted the presence of different dignitaries, including the Chief Judge of Ebonyi State, Justice E. A. Ngene, and Honourable Members of Ebonyi State House of Assembly.
