APPRECIATION MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU, RT HON BENJAMIN KALU OVER DR CLIFFORD OGBEDE APPOINTMENT AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SOUTH EAST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

  

It's with immense gratitude, appreciation and happiness that, we, members of Ogbako Ngor Okpala Youths, wish to thank and commend the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his remarkably well taken magnanimous decision of finding one of our most revered and respected political leader, Dr Clifford Ogbede, worthy of appointment as Executive Director Agriculture, Rural Development and Natural Resources in the South East Development Commission, SEDC.

Your Excellency, this gesture of yours signalling imminent take off of SEDC remains unprecedented in the history of South East Region and Ngor Okpala LGA in particular. This is for the reason that it's the first definitive statement and  practical demonstration of commitment to the implementation of the historical post civil war 3R mantra of Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of the war torn  region. For us, it goes beyond the above issues as it marks the first time Ngor Okpala LGA is being considered for a federal position that could be described as significant.

Without being told it is as glaring as broad day light to us and indeed, the entirety of South East people, that these historical actions of yours,are as more than eloquent testament and demonstration of your love for our people, and passionate interest in the growth and development of Ngor Okpala LGA, and Ala Igbo.

Our beloved President Tinubu, we make bold to inform you that your choice of Dr Ogbede could be described as a clinical choice,in view of his absolute fittedness as a square peg in the square hole of the Executive Director position he was appointed into.

He has always burned with the passion and desire to serve his local government, state and country, and this no doubt accounts for the enviable track record of results oriented service and legacies he boasts of, from offices he has held in both the private and public sectors. Beyond mental and physical capacities, Dr Ogbede is a man of high moral credentials, as attested to by his shining integrity, character and reputation.

 Indeed, Ngor Okpala is overwhelmed by this rare gesture of yours towards us, and we believe the people of the South East Region as a whole, are also feeling super excited as we are. On this note therefore, we hereby decree and declare our total support and loyalty to you, and your administration. Your Excellency, be assured of our total support and cooperation going forward.

At this juncture, let us also express our heartfelt words of gratitude to Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu, the high performing Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, for his pivotal role in the process that led to this appointment. You have indeed, proven that you are a man of strong character, who while making new friends, never forgets his past relationships. Similarly, we commend all members of the 10th National Assembly, House of Representatives and the Senate, for their support to President Tinubu administration, which has helped in making the decades dream of post war  rebuilding of  Igboland, through a legally established, empowered, structured and funded body, a reality today.

Signed
