The forum of All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly candidates in Enugu State in the last election has applauded the steps taken by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, immediately after returning to the ministry, last week.

They described the minister as a round peg in a round hole, noting that his reappointment was one of the best decisions of President Muhammadu Buhari when he reconstituted his cabinet.

In a statement by George Ugwuja, Chinwuba Ngwu and Confidence Chukwudozie, in Enugu on Tuesday, the APC faithful commended the minister for hitting ground running by  pledging to find a lasting solution to xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
