Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has commiserated with the family of Chinwoke Mbadinuju (Odera), first Executive Governor of the State, who passed on earlier on Tuesday at the age of 78.
The demise of the former governor was announced by his son, Cheta Chinwoke Mbadinuju Esq, on behalf of the family.
The late Mbadinuju was the Governor of Anambra State from May 1999 to May, 2003. He was elected governor on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Soludo, who consoled the family, also commiserated with the Uli community in Ihiala Local Government Area, as well as the entire people of Anambra State for the loss.
The governor noted that the late ‘Odera’ will be fondly remembered for passing a law that created the Anambra Vigilante Services, establishing Anambra State University, Uli, among other legacy projects.
Soludo, in his condolence message, urged the bereaved family to preserve and sustain his legacies, while praying that the Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest.
