(Nigeria) The President of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, Dr Frederick Fasehun, on Thursday said that the late Chief Ojo Maduekwe elevated Nigeria's image abroad as Foreign Minister.
Maduekwe, a former Minister for Transport and former
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Died on Wednesday at the age of 71.
Fasehun who said that he was shocked to hear of the death,
described Maduekwe as a fine Foreign Minister who took Nigeria's image to a
desirable level.
"Maduekwe was a decent and erudite Foreign Minister who
was speaking to foreign powers at par.
"He showed that he was not a pushover and justified his
background as a product of the prestigious King’s College, Lagos," Fasehun
said.
According to Fasehun, Maduekwe was an unbiased politician
who was not influenced by ethnicity.
"Nigeria will miss him. We sympathise with members of
his family and pray that God in his infinite mercy will admit him into
heaven," the OPC President added.
