BAUCHI, Bauchi State — Leaders and members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Kautal Pulaku International have paid a condolence visit to former Rivers State Governor and African Democratic Congress (ADC) Vice-Presidential Candidate, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, following the death of his mother, Dame Ezinne Mary Oduah Amaechi.
The delegation, which visited Amaechi in solidarity with him and his family during the period of mourning, included senior representatives of both organisations as well as a political associate from Bauchi State.
The visit was led by Alhaji Mohammadu Hussaini Buzaye, National President of Kautal Pulaku International.
Other members of the delegation included Alhaji Kabiru Yusuf Adam, Bauchi State Chairman of MACBAN; Alhaji Mallam Aliyu IG, Bauchi South Zonal Chairman of MACBAN; and Dr. Ibrahim Adam Abdullahi, Bauchi State Coordinator of MACBAN.
Also on the delegation was Alhaji Abbas Yusuf Mogora, Director of Administration of MACBAN, while Alhaji Kabiru Yusuf Tilde, ADC flag bearer for Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State, was also present.
The delegation expressed sympathy to Amaechi over the loss of his mother and conveyed its solidarity with the former governor and his family at a difficult period.
Dame Ezinne Mary Oduah Amaechi died peacefully on July 16, 2026, at the age of 89. Her death has attracted condolences from political leaders, organisations, friends and associates of the former Rivers State governor.
She was widely described in condolence messages as a devoted Christian and family matriarch who was committed to her faith, family and community. President Bola Tinubu, in his condolence message, described her as a woman whose life reflected faith, humility, sacrifice, kindness and service to humanity.
The African Democratic Congress has also mourned the deceased, describing her as a mother whose love, guidance and sacrifices helped shape generations. The party prayed for strength and comfort for Amaechi and members of the bereaved family.
Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation and former governor of Rivers State, is currently the ADC's Vice-Presidential Candidate for the 2027 general election.
The condolence visit by the MACBAN and Kautal Pulaku delegation comes amid a series of visits and messages of sympathy from political leaders and groups following the death of the former governor's mother.
The organisations' representatives used the occasion to stand with Amaechi and his family as they mourn the loss of the family matriarch.
The visit also underscored the personal relationships between Amaechi and individuals and groups outside his immediate political circle, who have continued to identify with him during the mourning period.
The delegation expressed its condolences and prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, while wishing the Amaechi family strength and comfort as they come to terms with the loss.
Funeral arrangements for Dame Ezinne Mary Oduah Amaechi were expected to be announced by the family.
