Today, we honor the remarkable life and legacy of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a distinguished Nigerian statesman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Your unwavering dedication to the betterment of society has left an indelible mark on our world.
Early Life and Achievements Born on September 4, 1942, in Ikeduru, Imo State, Nigeria, you rose from humble beginnings to become a shining example of excellence . Your academic prowess earned you a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Politics and Public Service As a seasoned politician, you served with distinction in various capacities, including:
– Member, House of Representatives (1979-1983). – Minister of Information (1983-1984) Chairman, Nigerian Football Association (1986-1989)
Personal Encounters I will never forget the first time I met you when you came to campaign at All Saint Anglican Church, Abayi Umuacham, in Aba, Nigeria, in the 1990s. Your charisma and vision inspired me, and I was honored to have met you.
Your kindness extended beyond politics; you generously supported my House of Assembly election in 1998 through your foundation, Iwuanyanwu Ambulance. I am forever grateful for your belief in me.
Our last meeting was on December 31st, 2023, at Bende Local Government Area, during a reception in honour of Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives . We exchanged warm pleasantries, and you expressed admiration for my political efforts, inviting me to visit you for further discussions. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to do so before your untimely passing.
You had a personal relationship with one of my sons and your belief in him would always be appreciated.
Legacy Chief, your selfless service, wisdom, and leadership have inspired generations of Nigerians. You were a true statesman, and your legacy will live on through the countless lives you touched.
