The purpose was to sincerely appreciate and commend Hon. Ugochinyere for his uncommon courage and steadfastness in standing firmly on the side of truth when it mattered most, particularly during the critical political moments affecting Rivers State. Amb. Ihunwo, specifically acknowledged his bold, principled, and unwavering support for the Executive Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara, at a time when silence or compromise would have been easier but less honorable.

In his remarks, the youthful and useful Rivers State political leader, Ihunwo, described Hon. Ugochinyere as a principled and forthright leader whose courage, sincerity, and deep sense of justice continue to inspire confidence in democratic governance, constitutionalism, and the rule of law.

Amb. Ihunwo noted that the lawmaker’s willingness to speak out and act in defense of truth, regardless of political pressure, reflects the kind of leadership Nigeria needs to strengthen its democratic institutions.

He further expressed profound gratitude for the lawmaker’s show of solidarity with the people and government of Rivers State, noting that such gestures of brotherhood, fairness, and national unity go beyond partisan interests and contribute significantly to the growth and stability of democracy.

“Leaders who place justice and national interest above personal or sectional considerations remain invaluable assets to the nation”, he asserted.

The New Year visit also served as a moment to reaffirm the strong bond of friendship and brotherhood between us, as well as our shared dedication to truth, good governance, accountable leadership, and the collective progress of Nigeria. It was a renewed pledge to continue working together, in our respective capacities, toward building a more just, united, and prosperous nation for all, he concluded.
