I convey the best wishes of the Government and people of Ebonyi State to Mr President, His Excellency, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu for appointing our son and father of Modern Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Sen. Engr. David Nweze Umahi, CON a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
It is therefore with a sense of pride and admiration that I felicitate on behalf of the people of Ebonyi State with the immediate past Governor of the State on this historic feat heralding his appointment into the Federal Executive Council as Honourable Minister Designate.
Your Excellency, you belong to the class of those who not only attained great heights but live to be widely celebrated, evident in your footprints on the sands of time when you held sway as the Governor of Ebonyi State.
Your record of service in the area of development especially infrastructure and all sectors of the state has been remarkable. I therefore have no iota of doubt whatsoever that you will not only perform above board but will always shine as an example for others to follow.
As a Senator of the Federal Republic, within the little time in office, you have shone like a million stars, exuding wisdom and became a rallying point for Igbo inclusiveness in the country.
Your Excellency has been strong and focused as ever, and I look forward to the synergy between the Federal Government and Ebonyi State.
Congratulations once again.
Rt. Hon. Bldr. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, FNIOB GGCEHF
Governor, Ebonyi State
