Represented by Air Commodore Anthony Etukudo, Gen. Babangida in a tribute during the burial of the Ex military governor on Saturday at his home town, Ikot Nya, Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State described him as one of his best students and the best military officers Nigeria has ever produced.
”He retired from the military but remained as a fighting soldier in mufti. He fought many battles of life for the development and advancement of Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria. His legacies as military governor of Akwa Ibom State, are unquantifiable. Nigeria will greatly miss his rare ingenuity. I thank Akwa Ibom State for having given Nigeria a genius in the person of Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga. May his soul rest in peace.
“With a combination of his strict military background, political and administrative sagacity and working in tandem with our National leader Chief Edwin Clark and other critical stakeholders of the region, he was able to seamlessly, elevate the standing of PANDEF to enviable summit with a short period as our pioneer national Chairman.
Gov. Emmanuel who recalled how they had brainstormed on the way forward for the Niger Delta and Akwa Ibom said it was hard to bid him a goodbye.
Na wah ooh. Akwaibom State has lost a great man. May his soul rest in peace. Such a wonderful and humble man.
