Devastated by the shocking death of Chief Uche Francis Mpamah (Ohamadike), Rep. Sam Onuigbo has implored the immediate family of the deceased and the entire people of Obuohia Obi-Ibere, Ibere Clan, Ikwuano, and indeed Abia State, to embrace the superior will of God, the Creator.
Rep. Onuigbo who is the Member representing Ikwuano/ Umuahia Federal Constituency of Abia State, in traumatized state, described the demise of Ohamadike, a one-time elected Chairman of Ikwuano Local Government Area, and a former Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Abia State, His Excellency Okezie Victor Ikpeaz, (PhD), as the fall of an Iroko tree, saying, “Indeed, an iroko tree has fallen”.
In his dirge, heartbroken Odozi Obodo wrote:
“I received with immense sadness, this morning, the news of the death of my brother, Chief Uche Francis Mpamah(Ohamadike). There are no words that can best convey the devastation I feel in my soul at this huge loss to not only his immediate family, but to the entire people of Obuohia Obi-Ibere, Ibere Clan, Ikwuano, and indeed Abia State.
“Ohamadike was a former Commissioner of Sports in Abia State, a one-time elected Chairman of Ikwuano Local Government Area, a former Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Abia State, His Excellency Okezie Victor Ikpeazu PhD, and indeed one of the pioneer politicians from my own village of Obuohia Obi-Ibere.
“I and my family are devastated about this loss, but we must bow to the superior will of God.
“On behalf of my family and the good people of Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal Constituency, I commiserate with his immediate family and the entire people of Obuohia Obi-Ibere and Ikwuano.
“May God, in His infinite mercy, grant us the strength to come to terms with this loss. Indeed, an iroko tree has fallen.
