CONDOLENCE MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA HIS EXCELLENCY BOLA AHMED TINUBU GCFR DURING THE FUNERAL OF LATE PROFESSOR HUMPHREY NWOSU HELD AT HIS COUNTRY HOME, AJALLI, ORUMBA NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ANAMBRA STATE, DATED 28TH MARCH 2025
-REPRESENTED BY THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS, H.E SEN. ENGR. NWEZE DAVID UMAHI,CON
I Convey with a deep sense of duty the condolences of the Federal Government of Nigeria to the family, the government and people of Anambra State on the loss of Prof Humphery Nwosu, a statesman whose sojourn on earth was full of impact and inspiration.
- I consider his death as a great loss not only to the people of Anambra State but also to the entire nation, having impacted Nigeria in different capacities especially his national service as the Chairman of National Electoral Commission.
- As we mourn the death of Prof Humphery Nwosu, we are invited to celebrate him for his profound accomplishments and personal fulfilments as a public administrator, political scientist, and academic icon. We are urged to reflect on his democratic ideals and his sense of commitment to a democratic Nigeria. These are the hallmarks of his life and times that will be cherished beyond this generation.
- Each time we gather to pay a last respect to the dead, nature beckons us to have a deeper introspection into the true purpose of life, which is service to God and humanity. Prof Nwosu really served the purpose of life on earth. Death constantly reminds us that life is not about the length of time on earth but its depth and meaning. Indeed, Prof. Nwosu’s contributions to the evolution of democratic governance in Nigeria and his shared electoral experiences will continue to inspire our commitment to Nigeria’s democratic governance.
- May I assure Nigerians that the fragile economy we inherited is now alive and on a path of sustainable growth. We have overcome the worst. Our democracy is growing, and I assure Nigerians that my administration will continue to deepen the democracy benefits for the good of all Nigerians.
- Once again, I commiserate with all the members of the bereaved family, and I urge them and indeed all lovers of his democratic ideals to continue to make him proud even on death by exhibiting a sense of industry, integrity, patriotism, and support for our democracy, which were the core values that depicted his life and times. May his soul rest in peace.
- Thank you, and God bless you all.
