He provided democratic vision and meaningful ideas to advance historic struggle. He was a patriot and progressive, a real breed in his consistent and unwavering commitment to social justice. Also eulogizing the former military administrator, Canu's wife Gladys and son Geoffrey, Nadeco leader Ayo Okwadukwin, others described the disease as a detribalized Nigerian freedom fighter and selfless man who should be celebrated. Anubisie or Andy, as I called him, was not just my husband and life partner. He was my soul mate and my true love. He was my other half. I feel truly blessed to have such a caring, humble and above all God-faring husband. The father was a man who, with all his achievements, was a brother of principles and humility. And I know if you were here today, as he looks down upon us right now, he feels very honored. For me, I've no other business than to say that when you leave a lack of discipline, dedication, patriotic life as Anubisie needs, you should be celebrated. Canu, a retired Neville officer, former military governor of Oldimo State and former member of the Supreme Military Council, the highest decision-making organ of the then military government, died on Wednesday, January 12, 2021, at the age of 78.
