The residence of Hon. Matthew Chinye at Ogbeofu quarters in Issele-Uku, headquarters of Aniocha North LGA was agog as the former political aide to Chief Ochei and Chairman of Otu Umunwanne played host to their visiting leader.

Chief Ochei who prayed to God to give the bereaved the fortitude to bear their irreversible loss, eulogised the honest and hardworking life the departed Diokpa had lived. He asked God to grant the deceased eternal rest, adding that death is a necessary end to every living being.

The Olikeze was however flanked by his teeming supporters who thronged the length and breadth of the vicinity just to be with their leader who has been away for some time fine tuning a political future for himself and his loyalists.

It was a nice outing according to eye witnesses, and reassuring that the political masquerade has not left his fans and supporters. Of course, the ease of mind on the part of his supporters would last longer in their subconsciousness, just as the juggernaut commended them for their show of love and keeping of faith.

Expectation is high that the burial of Pa Isaiah Okafor Chinye promises to be another political carnival in Aniocha North, come December this year. Already, the APC political family and supporters are gearing up for this reunion.

Those who were in Rt. Hon. Ochei's entourage for the condolence visit included: Ogbuefi Nnamdi Mohanye, Hon. Sunday Young Chukwuedo, Mr. Nkem Osu, Hon. Mrs. Egbe and a host of other high caliber supporters of Ochei.
