Yinka Odumakin’s Death Is A Huge Loss For Nigeria – Nzuko Umunna

A leading Igbo intellectual and think tank group, Nzuko Umunna has come out to mourn the death of Mr. Yinka Odumakin.

He recently revealed this via a statement by its Co-ordinator, Mr. Ngozi Odumuko, and Secretary-General, Dr. Paschal Mbanefo, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the news of the death was very shocking, and it is a huge loss to Nigeria after his efforts to unite the country.

He added that Yinka will be remembered for being a progressive and great activist that always stood for the rights of the people.

His words, ”Yinka, as has been testified by many Nigerians, was a progressive and great activist, who always stands for the rights of the people.”

”To us in Nzuko Umunna, Yinka was a great partner and bridge who continued to play a key role in strengthening the bond and unity of the Igbo and Yoruba. It would be recalled that he was a key player in the maiden Handshake across the Niger initiative which has culminated in a formidable alliance amongst the people of Southern Nigeria.”

”The leadership and entire members of Nzuko Umunna heartily commiserate with the wife Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin and the entire members of the Odumakin family on the death of their great son. We are consoled by his life legacies and will continue to work and consolidate on the gains of his interventions. He will be greatly remembered as a loyal partner and a voice of the people.”
