Monday, October 18th, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Nzeogwu�s vision for Nigeria unfulfilled, says brother By Tunke-Aye Bisina Reporter, Asaba   The late Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu�s dream and vision for Nigeria remained unfulfilled, his brother, Professor Peter Nzeogwu, has declared. Nzeogwu was one of the brains behind the first military coup-de-tat in the country. Speaking to newsmen about the preparations for the burial of the late Madam Elizabeth Nzeogwu, on Sunday, he lamented that the ideals for which his brother fought and died for remained largely unfilled in the country. Said he: �The vision which Kaduna Nzeogwu died for is yet to be realized; the vision for a united, efficient, corruption-free and super-power Nigeria. Chukwuma died for a great Nigeria, it is yet to be realised, it remains alive". According to him �Chukwuma does not belong to the Nzeogwu family alone but to all of us Nigerians.� He therefore called on Nigerians to continue to keep faith in a one and indivisible Nigeria that would be devoid of ethnic sentiments and rancour, explaining that such attitude was the only way the dream of the founding fathers and those who laid down their lives for the country could be achieved. President Olusegun Obasanjo is among eminent dignitaries expected at the burial ceremony of the late Madam Elizabeth Nzeogwu. Copyright� 2004. All Rights Reserved.
