Describing his death as a ‘painful’ loss, not just to Lagos State, but to the entire country, Mr. Obi said that “the homage we owe people like him is the continued striving to build the country they dreamt of but could not achieve through what he was known for: service clothed with humility, honesty and integrity.”
