The All Progressives Congress, APC, Enugu State chapter, has reacted to the nomination of Dr Kingsley Tochi Udeh, SAN, as minister from Enugu State.
It could be recalled that President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, forwarded Ude’s name to the Senate for confirmation.
He is to replace Mr Uche Nnaji, who resigned as the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology.
Nnaji, it could be recalled, was sacked over alleged forgery of degree and NYSC discharge certificates.
Chairman of the APC Caretaker Committee in Enugu State, Dr Ben Nwoye, in a statement made available to journalists, hailed Tinubu’s decision.
Nwoye said Udeh was a perfect replacement, buttressing that he possessed a sound academic record.
While congratulating the nominee on behalf of the APC family, Nwoye described him as “a great man with implacable character and verifiable academic credentials.”
“I am sure that Dr Udeh will bring his wealth of experience to help actualize President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda,” he further stated.
He re-affirmed the Enugu APC’s commitment towards President Tinubu’s mandate, stressing that Ude’s appointment will bring fresh oil to the renewed hope agenda.
