Former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has lamented the death of the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Ojo Maduekwe and foremost writer, Elechi Amadi, describing their exit as sad losses for the country.
Jonathan stated this in separate condolence messages to families of the deceased.
He described Maduekwe as “a nationalist, foremost administrator and intellectual giant who contributed so much to the task of nation building.”
In a statement issued by Mr. Ikechukwu Eze, the former president’s media adviser, Jonathan said: “Amadi was a renowned writer and patriot who served his country meritoriously, through his literary works and exemplary performance in public service. As an author, his works helped change the story of a continent, by rendering accurate accounts of profound African life and traditions as a counterpoise to inexact stereotypes”.
