A Trustee of the Owerri Sports Club and Ijele Akokwa, Chief Sir Tony Ezenna, has expressed his gratitude to members of the Club for attending the funeral of his mother, Mrs. Mary Comfort Nkechinyere Ezenna, which took place in Akokwa last week.
Ezenna, a business tycoon, visited the Owerri Sports Club to personally appreciate members for taking time out of their busy schedules to commiserate with him and his family during their period of mourning. During the visit, he lavishly entertained the members.
The thank-you visit was marked by a heavy downpour, which members of the Club described as a good omen.
In recognition of the high esteem in which Ezenna is held, members and friends of the Club turned out in large numbers to receive the distinguished visitor.
Leading tributes and eulogies were delivered by the President of the Club, Comrade Sir Uchenna Nwokeji; Trustee, Barrister Osita Nwosu; Vice President, Chief Peter Igwe; Patron, Chief Johnny Onuoha; Trustee, Most Distinguished Jonas Okeke; Trustee, Barrister Jude Ogamba; Trustee, Barrister Malachy Nwaiwu; Trustee, Prof. Goddy Onuoha; Trustee, Engr. Leo Okereke; and Chief Dr. Jude Ihuoma, all of whom praised Ezenna for his remarkable show of love and appreciation.
The event climaxed with a book review on the life and times of the matriarch of the Ezenna family, Mrs. Mary Comfort Nkechinyere Ezenna, presented by Trustee Barrister Osita Nwosu.
