Frontline 2023 presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim has mourned late versatile Journalist, Prince Emeka Obasi who died recently, describing him as intelligent, resourceful, courageous and cheerful.
In a personally signed letter of condolence to the wife of the late popular journalist, Dr Betty Obasi, the PDP presidential aspirant said that apart from Journalism, the Late Emeka also left his footprints in other endeavour he engaged in.
Said Anyim, “It was a rude shock for me to receive the very sad news of the passing of your dear husband, Prince Emeka Obasi. All the while he was sick, we all prayed and trusted God for his recovery. Emeka himself always sounded confident that he was going to recover fully.
“We cannot question God for we know that “all things work together for good for those who love God…….”. My dear sister, I know this is a difficult and challenging moment for you and the children. However, I want you to always know that our God is able and merciful. In His hands, you and the children are safe.
“Your husband was a very unique personality; intelligent, resourceful, courageous, bold and cheerful. He was an outstanding journalist who made his mark in the profession. Beyond journalism, Emeka also made his mark in public issues management. The Public Policy Research and Analysis Center (PPRAC), organizers of the annual Zik Prize in Leadership Awards, which he founded and managed very successfully over the years, remains one of the most credible platforms that has promoted leadership, patriotism and good governance in Nigeria.
“Emeka would be sorely missed for his invaluable contributions to the development of our dear country.
I pray that the good Lord will grant his soul eternal rest in His bosom. May the Lord keep, uphold and comfort you, his dear wife, children, and the rest of the family”, Anyim concluded.
