Such as:- “In life, he was an excellent example of a fearless leader who spent his entire life fighting for the down-trodden, the underprivileged, the powerless, the poor and sometimes the oppressed rich. In death, the candle he lit continues to show us the way.
“Therefore, we are here not only to extol the virtues of Chief Onoh, Okaa Omee Ngwo, but to testify that he left indelible footprints in his pursuit for justice and equal opportunities for every Igbo man and woman within the Nigerian federation.
“It is on record that in his quest to have more states created in Igbo land, he made heroic sacrifices and suffered some personal pains. Yet, until his death, he remained undaunted in his campaign to have another state created out of Igbo land.”
He noted that although Onoh’s reign as the governor of old Anambra State was cut short by the military, he continued to fight for the emancipation of his people by ensuring that subsequent leaders were always put under check and their perceived excesses exposed.

Onoh as a politician and an indomitable fighter for justice and equity for his people,” Chime said.He also said that in his condolence message to the Onoh family and millions of other compatriots grieving over his demise, he spoke about the pain of losing a great pillar of strength, counsellor and ally.
