Nigeria’s past and present leaders, President Bola Tinubu, and his predecessors, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, are expected to attend the burial ceremony of Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the late president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in Imo state.
Iwuanyanwu’s burial has been scheduled for Friday, November 1, in his native Imo state.
Charles Amadi, chairman of the local organizing committee, revealed that a one-week schedule of activities has been planned leading up to the burial.
Amadi confirmed that former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan will attend the burial. He also expressed optimism that President Tinubu would join them.
He said: “I can confirm that some former presidents including Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will attend the burial.
“I will also tell you that from the information we have gotten, we are 70 percent sure that Mr. President will also be here in Imo for the burial.”
The last time Tinubu and Obasanjo met was in January, also in Imo, during the inauguration of Hope Uzodimma as the governor of the state for his second term in office.
