The first daughter of the late former Governor Anambra State, Dr Mrs Ogelue Ezeife Ugorji, has revealed that her father, known for his firm stance in justice and equity, strongly supported the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi because he looked forward to a better and more united nation where every Nigerian would be treated justly and given a fair chance to succeed. 
She said that her father, late Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife (Okwadike) strongly believed that Peter Obi would have created such a cherished country.
Dr. Ezeife-Ugorji made the revelation while paying a glowing tribute to her late father, Dr Chukwemeka Ezeife, at a Commendation Service in Awka. The late Ezeife was the first civilian governor of Anambra State and an elder statesman. As part of his final journey home, a commendation service was held for him in Awka on Friday.
Speaking of his well-lived life, Dr Ugorji stated that her father, Okwadike, held justice and equity very highly. She narrated how Okwadike, during his last visit to the United States of America before his death, revealed that his unwavering support for Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, was borne out of his deep conviction that Obi would build a just and equitable nation.
She further described the late Okwadike as a man of wisdom, a lover of peace, and an emblem of unity. She said Okwadike was a truly detribalized Nigerian who related to everyone irrespective of tribe or religion. She prayed to God to grant her beloved father eternal rest and to grant that his hopes of a just and equitable Nigeria be actualized.
The event was well attended by many dignitaries and revered Nigerians, including the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo; President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu; Former Governor of Enugu State, Okwesilieze Nwodo; Former Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige, and many others.
