365Daily – Front line Anambra State gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Chidozie Nwankwo, has felicitated with the foremost traditional ruler and the chairman of the Anambra Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
Nwankwo, who is the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Wichtech Group, hailed the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Achebe, who turned 80 on Friday, May 14, 2021, as a “stabilising hand in the activities” of Anambra State.
In a press statement issued by his Director of Media and Publicity, Emmanuel Okeke, on Friday, Dr. Chidozie Nwankwo poured accolades on the Onitsha monarch, saying he has “redefined what it was to be a traditional ruler at this time by successfully marrying traditions alongside the need to progress.”
He described the traditional ruler as “a statesman who needs to be understudied by all and sundry as he has played his fatherly role exceptionally well in the state and have become a stabilising hand in activities of our state.”
Dr. Nwankwo wished him “more wisdom, knowledge, health and good fortune so that he can continue to add his quota to the development of the state by offering advises and guidance where necessary.”
