Former Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi took to his X handle on August 30th, 2024, to share his heartfelt tribute to the late iconic singer Onyeka Onwenu, who was laid to rest today in Lagos.
“Today in Lagos, I joined family, friends, and other mourners to pay my last respects to the late iconic song star, my very dear elder sister, Onyeka Onwenu,” Obi wrote. “I still recall, with pain, her final moments before she took the final bow on 30th July, all of which I completely witnessed.”
Obi reflected on Onyeka Onwenu’s legacy, describing her as a “national treasure” who strongly believed in a more united and progressive Nigeria. Recalling her final performance, he highlighted her rendition of the song “One Love Keep Us Together,” which, he noted, “bears significant testament to her belief while she lived here on earth.”
