The erstwhile senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District and former Commissioner representing Southeast at the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Distinguished Senator Anthony Agbo, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the ministerial appointment of Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu,
Bianca, widow of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, was recently designated as the Minister of State (Foreign Affairs) in the cabinet reshuffle announced by the President.
Senator Agbo, in a statement he personally signed, said: “It is one of the most spectacular, strategic and calculated actions President Bola Tinubu has taken, in the light of the volatile socio-economic and political mood of this country at this material time, being the recent appointment of Her Excellency, Amb. Dr. Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, as a Minister into his cabinet.”
According to him, “Bianca Ojukwu is an extraordinary personality of multidimensional endowments, but who to the Nigerian public has for long lived under the mask of only two identities; her remarkable beauty and that of the celebrated Wife of HE Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
“But Bianca, a lawyer, politician, businesswoman, an illustrious and renowned diplomat, a multiple international beauty pageant title holder, and outstanding intellectual with acute cerebral power, is also a remarkable repository of utilitarian knowledge, extant vision and flaming imagination.”
The ex-parliamentarian added that “Bianca knows and understands the world and it’s cultures in and out, in their depths, bits and pieces, both in their historical and contemporary perspectives. She possesses enviable measure and volumes of cultural literacy, and hence is firmly abreast of the intricate dynamics of the global society.
“Coming home, Bianca’s name is always a soothing balm and a sentimental connecting cord to every heart and mind in Igbo land.
“Hence, Bianca’s appointment by President Tinubu is such a refreshing, fresh and ventilating injection into the current administration in one hand, as well as a fabulous, disarming and sentimental gift to every family in Igbo land; to brighten the forlorn and somber mood of the Igbo people over their precarious situation in the Nigerian entity.
“And with the coming of Bianca into this administration, I can readily see Nnamdi Kanu soonest walking out of the Penal hold of the Nigerian State.
“I give ten Gbosas to President Tinubu!”
