The body of the Elder statesman was flown to Enugu on board a Nigerian Airforce Aircraft, NAF-918.
Governor Willie Obiano alongside his fellow SouthEast Governors, the President General, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo and other dignitaries were on hand to receive the deceased's body.
The aircraft bearing the chocolate-coloured casket in which the remains of the Late Vice-President was contained, had touched down at the airport at exactly 2:09 pm accompanied by family members led by the deceased younger brother who is the traditional ruler of Oko, Igwe Laz Ekwueme.
On its arrival, the Archbishop of Enugu Province and Bishop of Enugu Diocese, The Most Reverend Emmanuel Chukwuma blessed the corpse and prayed God for smooth rites of final passage for the departed elder statesman.
He further prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
The SouthEast Governors led by the Governor of Enugu State, Dr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi later proceeded to pay their last respect to the late Dr Ekwueme.
The body of the Late Former Vice-president, Dr Alex Ekwueme who died on the 19th of November, 2017 in a London Hospital, is due in the state on Thursday, 1st of next month.

Where's Peter Obi

Peter Obi is yesterday's news ever since he decamped from APGA the political party that made him what he is was!

REMOVE THAT ZOOLOGICAL FLAG.

I Blame BUHARI #BackToDaura2019

I hope the igbos blaming Buhari for marginalizing the south east can now see that patience is indeed a virtue. Here is the same Buhari spending an underserved 1 billion naira on Ekueme's burial. Something he could have simply ignored if not for the kindhearted man he is. If the igbos don't vote for APC in 2019 as a result of this, then we can conclude the region is ungrateful

See as all of dem thick... RIp to d dead

see pot belles

This is the 2 billion naira burial ba?
Issorit... God help us!

Life of vanity.

Ori e ti daru...

Hmmmm...when we (the masses) die, who remembers us?
For those opportuned to die in a big way, I don't know if there is a major celebration in heaven for the departed soul.
We the masses are the sheeple, the sheeple by the side walk looking on as the celebrations continue.

You can die 'big' on earth...but miss the final prize (in heaven).
RIP Ekwueme.
May those you left behind live their own golden lives and not in your shadow.
