Nwosu, APC National Welfare Secretary Laid to Rest Amidst Rain of Tributes

The remains of the National Welfare Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Friday Nwosu, were committed to mother earth yesterday amidst outpouring of tributes by political associates and friends across the nation

Both the national and the Abia State APC leaderships defied the rain and were fully represented at the requiem mass officiated by the Catholic Bishop of Aba Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Echema, at the country home of the late politician in Mgboko Umuoria, Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State

The National Chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, was represented by the Deputy National Chairman South, Emma Eneukwu, who was at the Head of a high powered delegation of the National Working Committee (NWC) members.

Adamu described the late National Welfare Secretary as “a resourceful member of the NWC, a great man who lived his life creditably,” adding that the party leadership has been in mourning since the news of his death was received.

The APC National Chairman in his tribute also noted that the late Nwosu was a man of “personal integrity who was committed to the success of our party in every facet.”

The governorship candidate of Abia APC in the 2023 general election, High Chief Ikechi Emenike, led a team of party faithful, including the state chairman, Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu, Secretary, Chief Chidi Avaja and other members of the State Working Committee (SWC).

In his remarks, Emenike noted that though Nwosu, who was the first Abian to be a member of the NWC of the ruling APC, has departed to meet his maker, the life he lived would continue to bear good testimony for him.

He said: “We shall keep thanking God for F.N. Nwosu’s life of honesty, integrity and loyalty. FN was not a double dealer, unlike many Abia State so-called politicians.

“Both in private and in public he (Nwosu) was dedicated to a course of action once he had come to believe in it. His kind is uncommon.”

From Bayelsa State, the Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo led a state delegation which included the former governor, Senator Seriake Dickson, who represents Bayelsa West in the Red Chamber.
