Mr Otti described the deceased as a foremost industrialist, business guru, philanthropist, elder statesman and inspirational leader of his people. He stated that Adaelu’s inspiring accomplishments were a testament to his unbroken convictions of personal excellence and success.
Also, Mr Ikpeazu described Mr Adaelu as a strong pillar and great giant who illuminated the path of renewal and rebirth for the Ukwa/Ngwa people and the entire Abia.
