BEVERLY HILLS, May 31, (THEWILL) – Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex organisation for Igbo worldwide, has expressed sadness over the Sunday killing of Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, former Political Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Its President, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor, made the group’s position known in a statement on Monday.
The statement said: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Ambassador Professor George Obiozor expresses great concern over the recent developments in the South-East of Nigeria; a zone noted for peace, tranquillity, hard work and smooth economic activities.
“Obiozor is saddened by the death of Ahmed Gulak. He described Gulak as an ebullient and sagacious achiever, a detribalized patriot whose active presence was felt in any gathering.
“His enviable qualities helped him clinch the positions of the Speaker, Adamawa State House of Assembly and later the Special Assistant to the President of Nigeria. As a chieftain of the All Peoples Congress, Gulak was never on the sideline. He was a consummate politician.
“Our heart goes to the Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma who has remained in deep mourning since the death of Gulak.
“Our sympathy goes to the immediate family of Gulak and the good people of Adamawa State for this calamity. We pray to God to grant them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
