The re-nomination of former minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday received a boost from Enugu State stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that it is sure way to take the country to next level.

This was contained in a statement they issued after their meeting held in Enugu.

Onyeama was among the ministerial list forwarded to the senate as one of the few ministers who made a return.

The stakeholders who are all members of the Kwusike Political Family, said the ministerial list as submitted by the President would be a sure way to taking the country to the next level.

The statement was signed by Hon Ejike Njeze, Comrade Adolphus Ude, Lolo Nwankwo, Tony Ibekwe, E.L Aja, Engr. Obed Chidera Eneh, Hon. Ginika Tor and Nwakaego Madubuaku.

They specifically lauded Buhari for finding their son, Onyeama worthy to serve in his about to be formed cabinet.

The group said: “We heartily thank President Muhammad Buhari (GCFR) for recognising performance and finding it worthy to re-appoint our incorruptible and illustrious Son of Enugu West, Hon Geoffrey Onyeama as a minister in his new Cabinet.

“Mr. President has by this singular act endeared himself more to the good people of Enugu State and the party members who believe in rewarding loyalty and excellence.

“We wish to reassure Mr President that this reappointment is not in any way misplaced but is very much in line with the wishes of all well meaning members of Enugu APC.

“We have no doubt that our son, Mr. Onyeama, would go all the way in contributing his quota towards the realisation of Mr. President’s Next Level Agenda.

“The crack team assembled by Mr. President met the aspirations and expectations of well meaning Nigerians and we are pretty sure that they will deliver,” the group stated.
