The funeral arrangements for former Anambra State Governor Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, who died in April of this year, have been announced by the state government. Mbadinuju served as Governor of Anambra State from May 29, 1999, until May 29, 2003, and will be honoured with a State Burial.
Mbadinuju, who was born on June 14, 1945, was elected on the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) platform and began office as Governor on May 29, 1999, when civil rule was restored. He was a failure as a Governor, serving only one term. He’ll be known for introducing the Ota and Bakassi boys to checkmate large crime outbreaks in the state when he was in power.
