The chairman of the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Linus Nto Mbah, has urged politicians to emulate the late former governor of Abia State, Ogbonnaya Onu, in promoting unity of the country.
Mbah, who spoke at the inter-denominational commendation service held in honour of the former governor in Umuahia, said that Onu was a patriotic Nigerian who played politics without bitterness. He noted that the former governor did not disrespect the traditional rulers or the traditional institution, but showed healthy respect for them.
He said that the Abia State governor took the best decision by honouring the former governor with an interdenominational commendation service. Meanwhile, many students of Abia State Polytechnic Aba have reacted to the renaming of their institution after the former Abia Governor. They said there is nothing wrong with the renaming of their institution after Ogbonnaya Onu.
