Minister of Niger Delta affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio has described the Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta, Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, as a bridge builder who epitomizes the future Nigeria.
Akpabio, a former Akwa Ibom State governor, said this in Owo on Friday while fielding questions from newsmen at the funeral of BTO’s father in law.
In his words: “BTO is a man who has made Ondo state very proud. He epitomizes the future Nigeria, and I know that Ondo’s very lucky to have him.”
He urged the people of the state to give him another opportunity and bigger responsibility in the coming 2023 election.
“By 2023, they should give him more responsibilities because he has shown capacity and availability. The fact that he’s able to attract the high and mighty is evidence of his sagacity. He has been able to build bridges across the Niger and I’m telling you that,” the minister said.
