He said: “we received with sadness the demise of your lovely mother, and that is why we have come to mourn with you and your family. Though, we know how painful and devastated it is to lose a mother, but we should not mourn like unbelievers
“From every indication, mama was a great woman, and that was why she was able to lay solid foundation for you and your siblings.”
“We are here today to mourn with you as the mother of all progressive women in Nigeria,” Nwoye stated.
Responding on behalf of the family, the APC national woman leader, who was a former Director in the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, had expressed appreciation to members of the Enugu APC for coming to share in their pain.
“I consider this visit a great honour, because you are the first state chapter of our party to pay me condolence. I want to say that I, and my family really appreciate. I lack words to express my joy on this visit, Mr. chairman, you have done noble.
“My beloved women of Enugu APC, count on me always, I will always be there for you, I will continue to be your advocate. But please, try to support your chairman at all times for the progress of our great party in your state,” she said.
