The Sister in-law to late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu (sister to his late wife, Mrs Eudora Iwuanyanwu), Princess Faith Gilbert and his personal accountant for over 25 years, Deacon Godson Asinugwo has eulogized the late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu for the huge legacies he left behind.
The due spoke in separate interviews with newsmen, during the Service of Songs for the late President General of Ohanaez Ndigbo held Tuesday, at the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (CATOL), Owerri.
In her response, Princess Gilbert made it clear that Iwuanyanwu left huge legacies that will be very difficult to match.
“I will start with myself and siblings. I was five years old when this man took me and my two siblings and trained us from primary, secondary schools and later trained us in America. He bought me my first car, my first house and infact, my first everything.
“He was a father to me, and he extended the love he had for his wife (my late sister) to my village people, our kindred, my friends and associates. His legacy is one that is worthy to be emulated and he will forever be missed.
Also fielding questions from newsmen, the Chief Accountant of Iwuanyanwu’s construction firm, Hardel and Enic, Deacon Godson Asinugwo who also served as his personal accountant for over 25 years said Iwuanyanwu will be remembered mostly for his philanthropy, neatness, kindness and large heart.
“He was a man who had the interest of people at heart, recognized his calling and pursued it to the last day. He knew he was a distribution channel, the last hope of the hopeless. His benevolence is incomparable, no wonder, millions of Nigerians benefited from his scholarship scheme”.
