The recent appointment of Mrs. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs by President Tinubu has sparked positive reactions from the factional National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Mr. Sly Ezeokenwa. Ezeokenwa commended the President’s bold move, describing it as audacious and laudable.
As a respected figure within the party, Ezeokenwa expressed pride in Bianca’s appointment, highlighting her iconic status and sterling qualities as a key member of APGA. He also emphasized the need for the President to form a strong cabinet of technocrats to address the economic challenges facing the country.
Furthermore, Ezeokenwa stressed the importance of looking beyond party lines to appoint competent individuals who can drive the nation’s agenda effectively. He expressed optimism that with the right leadership, Nigeria can achieve its potential as one of the leading economies in the world.
In addressing the security challenges, Ezeokenwa called for the decentralization of Nigeria’s security architecture to tackle the ongoing issues effectively.
Despite some internal challenges, Ezeokenwa affirmed the unity of APGA and dismissed any attempt to hijack the party. He emphasized the party’s resilience and commitment to serving the Nigerian people.
