In an emotional Instagram post on Thursday, November 12, Bianca recalled their marriage, which took place on November 12, 1994, describing their years together as a beautiful journey of love, shared memories and commitment.
“Though death has taken you away from my sight, it can never take away the precious years we spent together, the family we built together and the triumph of our love against all odds,” she wrote.
She expressed gratitude to God for the time they shared, adding that she would continue to cherish their memories until they meet again in eternity.
The anniversary tribute attracted reactions from social media users, who joined her in remembering the late politician.
Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who was the leader of the defunct Republic of Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War, died on November 26, 2011, at the age of 78.
