Former Anambra State Governor Mr. Peter Obi and his wife Mrs. Margaret Obi were present at the event with Dr. Akunyili’s children who returned to Nigeria to lay their father to rest.
Recall that Dr. Chike Akunyili was murdered on September 28 in Anambra state when he traveled to accept a posthumous award given to his wife.
