Former Senate president, Adolphus Wabara, has lamented the nation’s loss of two patriotic and eminent citizens, Chief Ojo Maduekwe and Elechi Amadi.  In a press statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Wabara said the late Chief Maduekwe was his close and long standing political associate    who shared with him a great deal of concern about good governance in their native Abia state and the country at large.

He said Maduekwe’s passage was particularly painful to him as both of them were working closely at the level of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) board of trustees to bring the current crises in the party to an end and reposition it as a vibrant and credible opposition party.

Wabara described the late politician as a man of very high intellect who served with integrity and clarity of purpose in all the assignments that were given to him, some of which included but we’re not limited to his appointment as minister in various ministries, Special Adviser on constitutional matter to the president, National Secretary of PDP, Ambassador to Canada and Secretary of PDP Board of trustees.

Chief wabara equally lamented the passage of the great literary icon Amadi. He said Amadi was an accomplished writer, poet, novelist and a cultural icon who made positive contributions towards the nation’s educational developments and the cultural emancipation of black Africans.
