The Rivers State
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obuah has described
the death of Hon. Ovunda Nyeche Omunakwe Nsirim who passed on recently as
shocking.
The State PDP
Chairman said the death of Hon. Ovunda Nsirim, former member of the House of
Representatives, and son of the Apiti of Rumueme, HRH, Nyenweli Omunakwe Nsirim
(MON) is a great loss not just to the party but to Rivers State and the country
as a whole.
While recounting
the contributions of the Late Nsirim to the evolution of the PDP in the State,
Bro. Obuah added that the party has lost a rare gem, noting that the vacuum he
has left would be hard to fill.
Bro. Obuah who
stated these when he led a delegation of the party’s enlarged State Executive
Council to the palace of the Apiti of Rumueme, HRH, Nyenweli Omunakwe Nsirim
(MON) on Monday, May 2, 2016, lamented the death of the Late Nsirim which
according to him, came at a time when the party he helped to nurture has
stabilized and advanced the dividends of democracy to the people of Rivers
State.
Regretting the
sudden demise of the federal lawmaker, the State PDP Chairman wished he lived
longer to reap his fruit of the labour in helping to nurture a virile party,
adding however that the party would not question God who chose to recall him at
such prime time when his services to the party and the State were still needed.
Bro. Obuah
assured the monarch of Rumueme, Nyenweli Omunakwe Nsirim that the late Ovunda
Nsirim deserved a befitting burial and pledged the readiness of PDP to support
the burial.
He described the
PDP as a united family where injury to one is considered injury to all, adding,
“We live by the Christian injunction to rejoice with each other and also mourn
when one of our own mourns”.
Responding, the
Apiti of Rumueme, Nyenweli Omunakwe Nsirim expressed gratitude for the visit,
adding that he felt encouraged by the show of love as demonstrated by the Bro.
Obuah and the enlarged party Exco.
The Rumueme
monarch described his late son as a hardworking and highly resourceful
person. He enjoined the PDP Chairman and
his team not to relent in their effort in rebuilding the State which was
mismanaged by the immediate past APC administration.
The Apiti
assured the State PDP of his commitment and readiness to support them in the
advancement of the State.
