The only surviving Zikist, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, also
minister of aviation in the first republic, is dead.
Amechi died aged 93 and was known for his interventions for
Igbo land, including the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, which he failed to realise before his death.
A press release by the family, signed by Azeana Tagbo
Amaechi, on Tuesday stated that he died with the regret of not living to see
the release of Kanu.
“The Ume Amechi, Ezeana Ihinede families and the Umu Mmara
kindred of Amihe Ukpor in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State
announce the peaceful transition of our illustrious son, father and
grandfather, Chief Mbazulike Amechi (Dara Akunwafor).
“The Nationalist and First Republic Minister of Aviation of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, transitioned peacefully in the early hours of
today November 1, 2022,” the message read.
