FORMER Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential elections, Peter Obi narrated his devastating moment at the demise of Music Icon, Onyeka Nwenu who passed away in Lagos at 72.
Obi in a statement available to SOJ WORLDWIDE said the incident was tragic and that it will forever remain in his memory.
It will be recalled that Onyeka slumped after a live performance in Lagos, all efforts to revive her proved abortive.
“Yesterday provided a very devastating moment for me as I witnessed a tragic event that will forever be etched in my memory. I was present at the event where the iconic song star, Onyeka Onwenu, performed a couple of her songs ending up with her famous song, ‘One Love Keep Us Together’.

It was a beautiful performance, but little did we know it would be her final bow. Just about a few minutes after her performance, she sat down and drank some water and immediately collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital.
I followed her to the hospital. I watched in pain as the doctors and medical staff fought tirelessly and battled to save her life , doing everything possible to bring her back to life but eventually came out with the sad news that she was gone.
Despite their valiant efforts, she sadly passed away after over two hours of intense struggle.
My heart goes out to her children and family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. May we find the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss.
