TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Chairman of the FCT Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Emmanuel Ogbeche made the disclosure on Monday.
Comrade Ogbeche wrote: “This life sef! A few days ago, we were with Dr. Emmanuel Okorodudu, the Head of the Democracy and Good Governance Directorate at the ECOWAS Commission for a program on Nigeria’s 2023 elections in Port Harcourt.
“Since I met Okorodudu at a Media Foundation for West Africa, MFWA, event a few years ago, he uses every opportunity to commend me and reassure me, “you will go far.”
“In Ghana about two months ago, he filled me on some facilitations he was planning and how he wants me to be part of the resource.
“I was delighted not just for the financial reward, but the exposure the trainings will afford.
“After the Port Harcourt training just this past week at the debriefing, he was happy and outlined our engagements for January. See me counting my chicks!
“God’s sense of humour came brutally this morning as Dr. Okorodudu passed!
“He was such an engaging fellow. He had hopes for not just Nigeria, but the sub-region. He was a walking encyclopaedia. Now all that is gone!
“Dr., I will miss you and all I can ask is rest in peace. For me, God will make a way”.
