The delegation expressed optimism that Chief Okeke’s enduring legacy would continue to inspire generations to come.
In his response, Chief Okeke urged the Igbo people to remain steadfast in their values of hard work, industriousness, and communal spirit.

Chief Okeke called on the Igbo to sustain their unity in order to enhance their collective welfare and positively impact those around them.
He stressed the need to lead by example, advising, “Know yourselves and be an example for others to follow.”
The Ochendo expressed appreciation to the delegation for the visit and offered prayers for God’s continued blessings upon the Igbo people.
