The chancellor of Gregory University Uturu, Professor Gregory Ikechukwu Ibe has described the late Abia State commissioner for Environment Dr Solomon Ogunji as a man whose legacies cannot be easily wiped off due to the meaningful life he lived while on Earth.
In a condolences message sent to AFNEWS titled “Canticle of courage ” Professor Ibe said he received the news of the demise of Dr Ogunji with shock.
“Who would have imagined that death could so gain advantage over a serial development political technocrat like Solo? Death oh death why have you taken away the very symbol and essence of boldness and courage from our body politic?
Questions, queries and more posers, yet no answers except the constant reminder that no one can question the Almighty, who remains the giver of life.”
The news of the sudden demise of Late Solomon Ogunji was made public early hours of this week , and has generated serial condolences to the family including a condolence letter from the Abia State Chief Executive Officer Dr Okezie Ikpeazu who described him a brother and a friend even unto death.
But Professor Gregory Ibe said “We shall therefore continue to take solace and be consoled by the tangible legacies and footprints of Solo on the sands of time,which cannot be easily wiped off, while praying for the repose of the soul of this courageous soldier who fought and won countless earthly battles, obtaining many laurels in the process. Indeed you fought gallantly and will ever be remembered, not just for the victories but for your zeal, passion and commitment to every good course you identified with. “
