Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, conveyed the unfortunate passing of the late singer, Onyeka Onwenu, under his supervision in Lagos.
Onyeka Onwenu tragically passed away on Tuesday evening subsequent to her attendance at the birthday celebration of Stella Okoli, the Managing Director of Emzor Pharmaceuticals.
Mr. Obi, through his official communication channel, revealed that the iconic singer collapsed at the event subsequent to a captivating performance of her timeless songs and was promptly transported to a hospital in Victoria Island, Lagos. Despite the diligent efforts of the medical personnel, the singer was regrettably declared deceased after approximately two hours.
Mr. Obi described the experience as profoundly distressing, stating, "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."
Mr. Obi extended his heartfelt condolences to the family and acquaintances of the deceased, stating, "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."
