EKO HOT BLOG reports that dignitaries from different walks of life Friday paid tributes to the late publisher of Business Hallmark Newspaper, Prince Emeka Obasi, at his Service of Songs ceremony in Lagos.

The ceremony which was anchored by the comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka 1st attracted government functionaries, leaders in corporate world, meadia colleagues,  friends and family.

Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon Rotimi Amaechi who came to the occasion held at Trinity House Centre, Victoria Island in Lagos, said, Emeka’s sudden death taught him a lesson, adding that he was a great man who lived a fruitful life.

“I thank God for coming here to honour my friend. Emeka’s death was a bit frightening. We thought we could do what we could to make him live. His death thought me a lesson..

I met him at a very young age in Journalism. Emeka was a great man and a nationalist. He has lived a good life and affected many positively. I had to come to honour Emeka and Dr Betty because it was difficult coming here”, he said Presidential aspirant, Chief Dele Momodu who thanked God for the life of publisher, said, “relating with Emeka even to few days before his death will not make you think his health challenge could lead to death, because he spoke well and was still mentally active and giving instructions on the project he wanted to do Emeka was a man of faith.”

One of the family members, Okezie Obasi, who is the youngest brother to the deceased, said his brother was like a father to him because of his life lessons he taught him.
