The former first lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan, has described as a great legacy of Late Madam Martina Nwanyinkwo Chukwuma, the contribution of her children, Chief Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson) and Chief Gabriel Chukwuma (Gabros).
According to the former leader of women and founder of Women for Change and Development Initiative, Innoson together with other members of the Chukwuma family, has been contributing immensely to the economy of the country and such contribution can never be overemphasized.
Those contributions, she stated, stem from Mama’s virtuous life, as she noted that mothers connote love and loss of a mother, irrespective of the age, is a loss too difficult to bear.

Speaking at the funeral mass of the matriarch, which had in attendance Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila among other dignitaries across the country, the former president’s wife expressed deep sense of loss over the loss of the centenarian whose son is the first indigenous manufacturer of vehicles in the country.
Dame Patience also apologized for the husband’s inability to attend the funeral, owing to his involvement in the ECOWAS activities going on in Mali.
“Mama Peace” also used the medium to clear the misconceptions people have about her by explaining that she is from Abia state contrary to some people’s view, who assume she is from Rivers state.
The former first lady also congratulated the new Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Nnewi, Most Rev. Jonas Benson Okoye and prayed for him to succeed in his episcopacy.
Late Madam Martina was aged 101 years and survived by two billionaire sons and a daughter.
