    When he was a senator I didn't see any good thing he contribute to the Nigeria people one day. All what they where doing @ the senate house there is how they will shell the Nigeria people money that is all. Is just like the day David mark, the senate president will die now I'll be the most happy man on earth that day. Because they are the ones who loot Nigeria money dry to the highest level both corruption and all! Mtcheew!!!!

      Won't you also be happy when ur father will die too? You even need to get yourself educated, your comment is full of grammatical bulshit. Your grievance is based on the fact that your father is a local peasant who could not afford to get you educated

    This is not good news to me. Senator Chukwumerije will always be remembered as a very loving father that had a great passion for his kids and loved helping people at large. Commanded great respect both in the senate and amongst his kingsmen. He looks much younger than his age and I didn't expect him to leave us so soon. I pray The Lord will grant the family the strength to bear this loss. Rest In Peace Sir............,

    Oh dear. Sen. Uche Chukwumerije was one of the few learned,focused,articulate and detribalised member of the out-going senate who was there for the good of his constituency; Abia North in particular and Nigeria in general and not just for the windfall that is accruing to our law In form of 'Salaries and emoluments'. Nigeria, Ndigbo,Abia and indeed his family have lost a great and honourable man, a true Senator of the Federal Republic. Rest in peace as we beseech the Almighty to give your family the fortitude to bear this irrepairable loss. Atu-Decency signs off.
