Ndi Anambra have been applauding Governor Chukwuma Soludo for what was termed “leading by example as he buried his father without pomp and pagentry”. According to National Publicity Secretary, All Progressives Grand Alliance,Mazi Ejimofor Okpara in a Facebook post said that what Governor Soludo has done with the burial of his father is to provide impetus for people to wade off wreckless spendings at solemn occasions such as burials.
According to Mazi Okpara, Pa. Soludo was buried without a poster or billboard anywhere in the State, without asoebi, without exotic drinks and foods from outside Anambra or Nigeria, without brochure or any printed invitation cards to anyone no matter how highly placed. The Burial and attendant rites were concluded by 6pm of the 23rd of December.
It was modest and devoid of any obscene acts associated with most elite occasions. Even the Vice President of Nigeria could not hide his awe at how decent a burial can be.
He went further to say that burying the dead is a corporal act of mercy that must not be abused no matter how rich or poor one is and that this lesson will stay with the people for a long time.
