Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi

Former vice-presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described the death of the founder and chairman of Globe Motors, Willy Anumudu, as a huge loss to South-East, the business community and entire Nigeria.

Mr Obi, who spoke through his media office, described late Anumudu as “a focused and diligent” businessman whose contributions to commerce and exemplary entrepreneurial skills would be missed.

Anumudu died on Tuesday in Lagos aged 68 after a brief illness not related to COVID-19.

Obi encouraged young businessmen to look up to Anumudu’s business model built through hard work.

He also prayed to God to grant Anumudu eternal rest, and grant his family and all those affected by his death, the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
