WIFE of former President, Prof.Uche Azikiwe has paid tribute to erstwhile Inspector General of Police, Chief Sunday Adewusi who passed on recently.

She said the deceased IG would forever be on the minds of Nigerians for his quintessential service to Ni­geria.

Adewusi whose remains will be buried on April 8 at his Ogbomosho, Oyo state home was an Aide de Camp (ADC) to the late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe .

In her emotion laden tribute , Mrs Azikiwe said the death of Adewusi was painful but a clear fulfillment of the biblical statement that everything that has a begin­ning must have an end.

She wrote “… So the exit of Chief Sunday Adewusi from mother earth now , after a life well spent in render­ing a meritorious service to Nigeria in the Police Force, is divine”.

She recalled “ according to my husband, His Excel­lency, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, GCFR, Chief Sunday Ad­ewusi, as his ADC, was a very accomplished, dignified, committed officer and pleasant gentleman . Chief Ad­ewusi was a quintessential officer of the Nigeria Police , who stood by him (ZIK) come rain come shine. Indeed his character is worthy of emulation in the Nigeria Po­lice Force”.

She implored God to grant the late IG’s family mem­bers the fortitude to bear the lose.
