“Let me use this opportunity to thank the president for appointing Nwajiuba as minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I have known him for the past 34 years; we were schoolmates.

“In 1999, while I contested and won the office of the executive chairman of Onuimo Local Government Area, he contested and won a seat in the House of Representatives, at a young age and his political sagacity did not go unnoticed as he became chairman, House Committee on Works and Housing.

“He is a young man, who is not afraid to dare. He has been a major political stakeholder in Imo State and Okigwe zone. Suffice it to say I am quite excited about his appointment and secondly by his return to APC, a party he helped to midwife.”
