Late Ikemba of Nnewi, was sent by God to lead the Igbo, says President Goodluck Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan said on Friday that the late Ikemba of Nnewi and former Biafran warlord, Chief Chukwuemeka Odimegwu-Ojukwu, was sent by God to lead the Igbo.

Jonathan noted that in the history of mankind, God always raised men like Ojukwu to lead their people.

The President made the statement during a funeral service for Ojukwu at the St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Nnewi, Anambra State.

“In the history of many nations, kingdoms, towns, villages, communities and families, God raises people to lead them. Ojukwu is one of those programmed by God to lead his people,” Jonathan said, adding that Ojukwu’s vision was beyond the understanding of his contemporaries.
