I am deeply saddened by the demise of Chief Ojo Maduekwe. He was a good friend. I wish his family fortitude to bear this loss. May he RIP.

I do have fond memories of Ojo Maduekwe– a man similarly unsparing of poorly spoken English. We would both wink as soon as we heard such.😇

Chief Ojo Maduekwe’s passing comes at a time when his calming influence is required. He will be sorely missed.

I have been slow to comment because of my heartbreak. Ojo Maduekwe worked with me and Elechi Amadi comforted me with his works.

3. Dr OJO Maduekwe was, warm, cheerful and high in spirit. Characteristically, very well spoken.
