“He is someone that I know very well. I am his representative in the House of Reps and I have followed his activities right from when he was in service till now that he is retired. His appointment as an ambassador shortly after his retirement is another testament to his character and personae.
“When I heard of his nomination last night, I was excited and felt happy for the people of Rivers State, knowing that the president has made a wonderful choice. He is one man you can trust to deliver on any assignment.”
