When it rains it pours, that is the lot of All Progressives Congress stalwart, Chief Modestus Okechukwu Umenzekwe. Events began on February 26, with the demise of publicist and writer, Chief Uche Ezechukwu, followed by Princess Felicia Umenzekwe ( nee Ezechukwu) on March 2, and Dr. Vitus Ezechukwu on April 2.
It is pretty difficult to handle such situation in today’s Nigeria. Umenzekwe, Onwa of Achina in Aguata, lives in Lagos but will be forced to divide time between Lagos and Anambra State as he runs around preparing for funeral duties. That is the sad truth.
Umenzekwe is the only child of Princess Felicia Ihejiali Umenzekwe better known as ‘ Di bu Ndo.’ Chief Aloysius Uchenna Ezechukwu was her brother just like Dr. Vitus Nwabueze Ezechukwu, a former director at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
