American-Based Nigerian Bizman Hails Amaechi

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” organised to mark his 70th birthday, by Governor Amaechi, at Government House, Port Harcourt.

The America based businessman described Governor Amaechi as one unique Nigerian that can transform Rivers State and Nigeria at large emphasising 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 remained 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.
