The Anambra State government is pushing for the late novelist, Chinua Achebe to be buried in his home town.
Although the family has not announced their burial plans yet, on Saturday, spokesman for the governor of Anambra Mike Udah, said the idea of him being buried outside his community is totally ruled out.
“He is a renowned promoter of the African culture. He cannot but be buried in his native home community,” said Mike Udah, spokesman for the governor of Anambra, Achebe’s southeastern home state,” he said.
According to reports, Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, plans to travel to the United States this weekend to discuss Achebe’s burial plans with his family.
This is just too funny. I wonder what the governor’s business is with the family’s decision as to where to bury Chinua Achebe. What’s your view???
