Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday paid a condolence visit to the family of the late vice-president Alex Ekwueme in Abuja. Ekwueme died in November after a brief illness.
According to Osinbajo, the late elder statesman "stood out as someone who stood for greater Nigeria.”He said: “For someone who had no arms, had nothing, he was just a leader who stood out when everyone else seemed to be afraid of speaking up.
"I think that was one of the most poignant memories because really, we owe a duty to our society to continue to empower ourselves and empower all others to ensure that it is better.”
