Tinubu mourns NADECO chieftain Ralph Obioha

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has expressed his condolences on the passing of Ralph Obioha, a former lawmaker, businessman and prominent figure in the country's pro-democracy movement. In a condolence message, Tinubu recalled Obioha as a patriot who played a crucial role in the struggle to restore democracy in Nigeria, particularly following the annulment of the 1993 presidential election.

The President extended his sympathies to Obioha's family, community, the people of Abia State, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, members of the National Democratic Coalition, and all Nigerians who mourned the loss of the beloved statesman. Tinubu highlighted Obioha's unwavering commitment to democracy despite the challenges and pressures of the era, emphasizing that his sacrifice should serve as a reminder of the need for courage, conviction, and faith in building a nation.
