He recounted the tragic loss of Emma Ugoji in an automobile accident in April 2021 and expressed joy that despite the setback, his daughter has gone on to achieve her father’s dreams

He celebrated Chinemenma’s achievement as a fulfillment of her late father’s hopes, adding,
“It is a thing of joy for all of us that Emma’s dream for his daughter was realised even in his absence.”
