Devastated by the shocking death of Chief Uche Francis Mpamah (Ohamadike), Rep. Sam Onuigbo has implored the immediate family of the deceased and the entire people of Obuohia Obi-Ibere, Ibere Clan, Ikwuano, and indeed Abia State, to embrace the superior will of God, the Creator.
Rep. Onuigbo who is the Member representing Ikwuano/ Umuahia Federal Constituency of Abia State, in traumatized state, described the demise of Ohamadike, a one-time elected Chairman of Ikwuano Local Government Area, and a former Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Abia State, His Excellency Okezie Victor Ikpeaz, (PhD), as the fall of an Iroko tree, saying, “Indeed, an iroko tree has fallen”.
In his dirge, heartbroken Odozi Obodo wrote:
