The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ukwa West local government chapter, Abia State has extolled President Bola Tinubu for appointing Dimgba Eruba into the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission.
This was contained in a communique by the chairman of the party in the area, Uju Nwarie; the secretary, Emmanuel Nwuju; the chairmen of the 10 wards of the local government and the state assistant secretary of the party, Sterling Uruakpa.
The chapter described the appointment as most deserving and appropriate as Eruba is from one of the oil-bearing communities of the local government.
“We, the leaders of APC, Ukwa West local government chapter, express our profound gratitude to the president for the appointment of our son into the NDDC board,” the communique noted.
In the past, there had been instances where the appointment of the state’s representative on the board generated controversies and even outright rejection from the oil-producing area.
But the leaders noted that Tinubu made the “right choice” with Eruba’s appointment, adding that the appointment enjoyed widespread support in the oil-producing area and the state in general.
“This is one of the appointments that has brought joy to the hearts of the party and the people,” the communique added.
They described Eruba as a leader who has an unflinching belief both in the party and Tinubu’s administration, adding that the new board member “is a humble son of Asa and a sincere party man.
“We cannot hide our happiness. The appointment of Eruba has brought enormous joy in the area in particular and the state in general.”
At the meeting, the chapter declared its adoption of the new board member as their leader following a motion moved by Uruakpa and seconded by Nwarie.
