A South-east group, Okigwe Forum, says the appointment of Mr. John Uwajumogu, as Special Adviser, Industry, Trade and Investment to President Bola Tinubu’s has changed their perception about his administration.
The Speaker of the Forum, Sir Collins Anoro, in a statement issued Tuesday described his appointment as a right step in the right direction.
He said: “Before now, I saw the president as a weak and old man who would recycle the old politicians as we have seen in this country.
“I cannot remember when a youth who is not a politician, who does not have a godfather was recruited in the first ten appointments of any administration. The appointment of such persons in other administrations has been a compensation or a political quota to that set of generations.”
Anoro added that he became relaxed to a great extent with this administration when he heard the announcement.
According to him, It became an eraser that has cleansed several minds of the government of Bola Tinubu. This singular action has increased the public legitimacy of the government. Majority of youths are happy that for the first time in Nigeria, Competence and capacity is taking the driver’s seat.
Anoro congratulated the President for this bold step in revitalizing the fortunes of the country, while also urging Uwajumogu to make them proud.
He said: “John Ugochukwu Uwajumogu the Son of the first republic politician, industrialist and businessman who was behind the administration of Dee Sam Mbakwe and for his love for his people Chief B.U Uwajumogu.
“I was so fixated in that belief until few days ago when he appointed a young man who is not a member of any political party. I am sure that John Uwajumogu is not a Nigerian politician. The last interaction I had with him kept me thinking that he should come to Macedonia and help us. This young man is not only intelligent, I call him a Wizkid.
“He has done so many jobs for other countries, he is a professional and what anyone would consider a technocrat. I thank God he has accepted the appointment which I see as one of the best things that has happened to this administration.”
