The Speaker who said he was duty bound to be with Sir Eric Opah on the day he buried his father because of the relationship existing between Sir Opah and the Senator T.A. Orji, a relationship the Speaker said he cherishes so much and wishes to sustain because of the kind of person he said Sir Opah is: a man of courage, forthrightness and truth, and that us why he is endeared to him and the Opah household.

The Speaker said the late Chief Opah would be happy and proud of his son where he is and urged Sir Eric Opah to sustain his father's legacies. He expressed gratitude to the good people of Isiala Ngwa for their support over the years.

Sir Opah reiterated that his father and the Speaker's father were so close that the bond of friendship between the two families cannot be broken. He emphasised his commitment to sustain his father's legacy.
