A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, Comrade Samuel Bello, has hailed the redeployment of Engr Abubakar Momoh from the Ministry of Youth to Niger Delta Ministry, saying he will transform the region.
The redeployment of the former federal lawmaker was announced by the presidency on Sunday after he was earlier assigned the Ministry of Youth.
Comrade Bello in his congratulatory message yesterday, described Engr Momoh’s appointment as a minister and subsequent redeployment to Niger Delta Ministry as a round peg in a round hole, saying the 62-year-old Edo politician possesses the qualities that will transform Niger Delta.
“As an engineer, Hon. Momoh knows the challenges facing the region; as a politician and a former federal lawmaker, you know what the people of Niger Delta need to better the region.
“As a thorough breed and refined gentleman, we are assured that justices will be served.
“I trust you to make an impact through your visionary leadership towards meeting the needs of a region that bears the burden of the country,” Comrade Bello’s message reads.
President Bola Tinubu had on Sunday approved the redeployment of Engr Abubakar Momoh from the Federal Ministry of Youth to the Ministry of Niger Delta Development.
