Eulogizing his late father and recalling some of their last moment together, Mayegun said, "My father, Chief Christopher Aliasau Mayegun (aka. The Baale of Baruwa Town, Ekun Omo Laani) lived a prosperous life. He was known for his good acts, leadership character, God fearing and a loving father to all".
"My father and I were very close. His palace is just like a second home. He used to call me whenever he needs something or have something very important to discuss. I visited him regularly. But I regret not seeing him before he died, he made several efforts to see me, two weeks before he died, unfortunately, there is no network where I was, I was later informed he was eager to see me be he gave up."
Speaking on what he would miss about his late father and what the father would be remembered for, "He would be missed by many. A man who lived a generous and prosperous life won't be forgotten. But as his son, I will forever miss my dad for his integrity, intelligence and bravery. He will be remembered for his good deeds and jovial moments he lived".
Recalling how he died and the demise of their influential father affected his life and that of his other siblings, Mayegun noted it wasn't an easy one for them, especially their mother, "It was a Tuesday evening, 23rd of November 2021, My father was in his palace relaxing as usual when he felt headaches and weaknesses in his body. He told his wife and one of his children, and they decided to take him to our family hospital. On getting there, he was being stabilized until 1am on Wednesday morning 24th, November 2021 when heartbeat reduces drastically. He eventually died 30 minutes after".
"It's not been easy on us, It was a huge loss for everyone, especially my mum. But we are grateful for his life. He lived a good life, he practically gave up his life for humanity, and that is why we decided to give him a befitting burial. He wasn't just n ordinary man, he was a man filled with honoured, if not for COVID, it would have been more bigger and elaborate than this, still we are thankful to God." He concluded.

Recall that the South East Governors had different times in 2021 held meetings on the way forward as regards open ranching in the South East amongst other pertinent issues. Reacting to the meeting, Edochie has this to say, "I am praying for a lot of things. Matthew 7 versus 7 says; 'ask and you shall receive.' On that note, I'm begging God to help South Eastern governors. I do hear most times that the Northern Governors are always having meetings and whatever the outcome is, they implement for us all. What stops South Eastern governors from doing same? Who really did this to us?"
He continues, "However, one day I heard that the southern governors will hold their regular meeting at Asaba. Some of my colleagues informed me that what I had been praying for was about to come to pass. As God may have it, the meeting indeed held at Asaba successfully and all the Igbo governors were in attendance. I was so excited because some important issues were discussed. They jointly agreed that it's high time Herdsmen looked for a ranch to start rearing their animals because they were already causing lot of damages, especially to people's farmlands."
Reacting to two of the subsequent meetings that were held in Lagos and Enugu respectively, where many of the governors were physically absent except Enugu State Governor, the Anambra born actor said; "Eastern governors should understand that they need to lead from the front, while the people follow." He went further to extol Ugwuanyi for making himself available at all the meetings.
"After the meeting at Asaba, they agreed to hold the next one in Lagos. However, it was only Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi that was present at that subsequent meeting. Other governors sent representatives."
"It is important to note that, it is not all fights that a mother fights for her child. How could a meeting concerning your people be scheduled and you will not be present to fight for their rights? You all came out to the one held at Asaba and we were all excited about it, then came the one of Lagos and you did not honour it. The absence of other Igbo Governors at the Lagos held meeting, really saddened us. Only Enugu State Governor was physically present."
"Another one was held at Enugu State closer to all the Eastern Governors, yet they didn't make it in persons, but sent representatives again. Well, maybe there was a reason behind them boycotting these meetings but we the indigenes are not happy with the outcome. As much as we are trying to see if we can get an Igbo President for 2023, if an Igbo governor is to be picked and Ugwuanyi makes it, would you blame him? He is the only one that has shown concern, making it obvious that whatever concerns ndi Igbo is of great importance to him. This is not how it ought to be, let all the Eastern governors have the good of Ndi Igbos in their minds. They are our hopes for better lives of Ndi Igbo. I also want to sincerely appreciate Governor Ugwuanyi for his unavoidable presence in all the meetings held. He was also the first to implement the outcome of the meeting in his state." He validated.
