“We have been rating you very highly for your exemplary leadership even when you served the union as the National Vice President Zone C(South East), but the just concluded delegates conference served as a litmus test for the positive legacies you left behind for the union. The outcome of that Owerri election was a huge vote of confidence on your leadership and we are glad to share in that.
