In a statement signed on its behalf by Mr. Charles Anyiam-Osigwe on Wednesday in Lagos, the group, made up of prominent Nigerians, described the death as sad.

“It is with grief in our hearts that we announce the passage of our brother, comrade and friend, Tony Ipriye Uranta (TIU).

“TIU passed on earlier today at LUTH  where he had been admitted for treatment.

“He was a dogged fighter, a unifier and bridge-builder who believed firmly in justice, equity and fairness, and  fought hard that this country may not fall apart.

“He’s gone now and we pray that the Lord most High comfort and provide for his family. May his comrades and friends hold on to the vision.

“We must in his honour ensure that our work endures and bears good fruit,” JEPUN stated.
