The eulogies were succinctly captured in the statement released by Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi:
“Nigeria and indeed the civil society have lost a rare gem.
“Dr Nwankwo loved his people and his country so passionately, he would do everything humanly possible to ensure their freedom and prosperity in a free, just and decent society.
“Dr Nwankwo left no one in doubt regarding his stand on Nigeria, especially the unity and progress of the country.
“He was a bridge builder, who worked with others to confront military dictatorship; an irrepressible advocate of good governance, rule of law as well as a just society.
“We will miss the deep and insightful analysis of this great pan-Africanist on critical national issues, his courageous voice as well as his wise counsel.
“We are however comforted with the fact he lived an impactful life, made his mark and left a legacy of service and honour which will inspire many generations.”
