The family of late paramount ruler of Ngwaukwu, Abia State, Eze Bernard Onyenguzo Enweremadu, has announced a one-week burial ceremony for the late monarch.
His son, a former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Prince Christopher, said the programme will hold from December 10th-17th, 2021.
While thanking the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu and President Buhari for the support given them since the death of their father in January this year, he said the December date was chosen to coincide with the traditional ceremony called Izu Ngwa.
Rt. Hon. Enweremadu said, “After due consultations with the Enweremadu royal family, the relevant traditional authorities, Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, I wish to inform the public of the dates for the burial rites of His Eminence, Eze Bernard Onyenguzo Enweremadu, Ezeukwu Ngwaukwu and the 13th Onyeisi of Ngwa land.
“The burial rites will commence on December 10 and end on December 17. Details will soon be made public. We wish to thank the Federal and Abia State Governments, well wishers and friends of the Enweremadu royal family for the show of love and support we have so far received. “We look forward to your continued participation in ensuring a grand final passage for our late monarch”.
