Anambra State Government open condolence and tribute registers for Chinua Achebe in Awka, Abuja and Lagos
QUOTE: by SSG Oseloka Obaze
"We are deeply saddened by this tremendous loss of a humble patriot, who though genteel, was widely acknowledged as a legend in his lifetime. Personally, my wife Ofunne and I, were privileged to be considered his friend. Chinua ACHEBE was a role model to us and many across nationalities and across continents. He was a social and political activist and most importantly, a humanist and unrepentant social conscience of Nigeria. He was a true Igbo Icon and an eminent Nigerian beyond adjectival qualification." --- SSG Oseloka H. Obaze
