“The National Planning Committee for Funeral of the late Amechi has Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as Chairman and CID Maduabum as Secretary.
“The committee also has organised a similar ‘Day of Tribute’ at the International Convention Centre, Awka, Anambra State, for the late nationalist, on Tuesday, February 14, 2023.”
It further stated that “a 39-member state organising committee of eminent personalities has also been constituted in Anambra State to assist the National Planning Committee in organising a befitting funeral for the late Amechi with Innocent Chukwuma, as Chairman and Maja Umeh as co-Chairman.”
Osinbajo not among ‘Aso Rock elements’ working against Tinubu, El-Rufai declares
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state had dismissed insinuations that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was the person in Aso Rock against the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
El-Rufai in an interview said that the people he was referring to are northerners like President Muhammadu Buhari who failed to plant their presidential candidate as successor to Buhari.
He insisted that Prof. Osinbajo, who also contested the APC presidential primaries was not involved.
