American based Nigerian businessman Dr.
Menkem Onyia says the Rivers State
Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi is a key instrument in the
development of democracy and good
governance in Nigeria.
Onyia who hails from Asaba, Delta State,
made the remark Wednesday night at a
private dinner organized to mark his
70th birthday, by Governor Amaechi, at
Government House, Port Harcourt.
The
American based businessman described
Governor Amaechi as one unique Nigerian
that can transform Rivers State and
Nigeria at large emphasizing that
“Rotimi as I prefer to call him is one
of the unique human beings you can ever
meet in the world”.
Recalling his personal relationship with
the Governor spanning the past eleven
years, Dr. Onyia said even if he had
sworn never to return to the country
after a bitter experience as a victim of
the Asaba massacre, but by the Grace of
God, he would make a full return to the
country, soon.
Elated by the honour done him by the
governor, Dr. Onyia said “as far as I am
concerned, His Excellency is a saint
brought here in the form of a human
being” stressing that he was passionate
about the leadership qualities of the
governor.
Earlier, Governor Amaechi narrated how
he came into contact with Dr. Onyia, who
had since then married a friend of
Rivers State from his days as speaker of
the State House of Assembly.
He
later presented Dr. Menkem Onyia with a
birthday gift on behalf of his friends
and family.
