The Duruaku Dynasty of Umuoparadim, Isu community in Nwangele LGA of Imo State on Thursday, March 18, 2021 buried their patriarch, Late Chief Sir Dominic Nnanna Duruaku who passed on recently.
The clear society funeral ceremony, which was attended by the high and mighty, began with a concelebrated high mass presided over by His Grace, Archbishop Anthony VJ Obinna, with a large team of catholic priests.
It was witnessed by a mammoth crowd of family, relations, friends, associates and sympathizers, which included top leaders of the society from far and near, at St. Michael’s Catholic Parish, Umuoparadim, Isu Nwangele LGA.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State was duly represented by a delegation of the State Working Committee that was led by the State Secretary, Hon. Nze Ray Emeaña, with State Treasurer, Barr. Josiah Eze; Women Leader, Hon. Chief Mrs. Maria Mbakwe, and State Publicity Secretary, Ogubundu Nwadike.
The delegation went to commiserate with two Party leaders, Chief Obinna Duruaku and Mrs. Chinwe Duruaku-Agu, who happened to be nephew and niece to the Late Chief Sir Dominic Nnanna Duruaku.
There were other Party leaders and members that attended the funeral ceremony, who were too many to be listed here. They made Imo PDP proud at the ceremony.
However, notably present were such Party leaders Hon. Ejiogu Philip , Member Representing Owerri North at Imo State House of Assembly, Sir Bon Unachukwu, former Chairman, Owerri Zone PDP and Honourable
Commissioner for Land, Survey and Physical Planning in the Ihedioha administration; Chief Paul Anjunwa, Party leader and former Commissioner, Local Government Commission, in the Ihedioha administration, Mr. Ebube Mbah and Mr. Ihezie Dede Walax of Imo PDP New Media and many others.
Significantly, Imo PDP in character accords due recognition, regard and respect for Party leaders and members who stand solidly with the Party at all times.
The duo of Chief Obinna Duruaku (BBC) and Mrs. Chinwe Duruaku-Agu fit into that category. While Chief Obinna Duruaku is a reputable Party leader, who served as Secretary, Imo State Internal Revenue Services (IIRS) in the PDP RebuildImo administration that was led by His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, CON, Mrs. Duruaku-Agu is the incumbent Coordinator, Imo PDP New Media, (Europe).
The Party prayed that the soul of Late Chief Dominic Nnanna Duruaku rest in peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
Power to the People!!
