Ime Umanah, an entrepreneur and politician, died in 2015 in a road accident in Imo State.
“The news last night that Mr Umanah was dead hit so severely that I lost my senses, developed a headache, runny stomach and refused to believe it.“It was a shedding of tears, very devastating, hurtful and incomprehensible that Mr Umanah should die in an accident. It is one too many of our revered leaders and frontline outspoken politicians, particularly from Abak-Five, who have died within a year,” he said in 2015.
After going through the names of the patients, Ms Mark offered to settle the bills for the five patients, a gesture she said is to keep alive the memory of her late uncle, Mr Umanah. Ms Mark said she felt fulfilled meeting the patients and being able to help them as her late uncle would have done if he were to be alive.
“Coming out to do this today, I see how my late uncle used to help people. The feeling is very special, out of this world,” she said, adding that she would do more to help the less-privileged.”Welcoming Ms Mark, the Medical Superintendent of the hospital, Godslove Bassey, said late Mr Umanah was a friend to his father.
