Why We Shunned Chukwumerije's Burial — Abia Govt

Despite the presence of dignitaries all over Nigeria at the funeral of
the Late Senator Uche Chukwumerije on Friday, the Government of Abia
State was absent at the event. According to reports in PUNCH
newspaper, the special adviser to the Abia State Governor on Political
Matters, Chief Ama Abraham, said the deceased's children didn't carry
the state along.

The remains of the late Senator was laid to rest at Isuochi in
Umunneochi Local Government Area of the state which is his country
home. In attendance at the burial are the governors of Anambra and Imo
States, Mr. Willie Obiano and Chief Rochas Okorocha. Senate President
David Mark, Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, former
Vice-President Alex Ekweume and other dignitaries were also present at
the event.
