Alex Otti Offers Condolences to Okonjo-Iweala on Loss
Abia State Governor Alex Otti extended his condolences to Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, on the passing of her mother, Mrs Kamene Okonjo, who died at the age of 96. Otti characterized the loss as a personal tragedy for himself and the people of Abia State, emphasizing that the death of a mother creates an irreplaceable void.
He praised Mrs Kamene Okonjo as a moral compass and teacher whose virtues were reflected in her daughter’s achievements. In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Ukoha Njuko-Ukoha, Otti noted that the people of Abia mourned not only for a prominent Nigerian but also for a beloved sister.
He expressed hope that Dr Okonjo-Iweala would find comfort in her mother's fulfilled and impactful life, which would leave a lasting legacy. Mrs Kamene Okonjo was married to the late Obi Prof Chukwuka Okonjo, the former traditional ruler of Ogwashi-Uku, for 66 years.
