“Hon. Paul Obinatu is the most youngest Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Imo State since the creation of the state. He is a loyal party man, committed and a dedicated loyalist, a well respected jurist, a member of 2010 Set of Councillors and that is where my relationship with him started and till then he has piloted the affairs of the Councillors before his appointment. And prior to his appointment, he was the Special Adviser to the Governor on Legislative Matters.

“He is a good man that knows his onion, legally speaking. And even when we were in court – as Councillors after the desolution of Legislative House in 2010 by the Rescue Mission regime spearheaded by Rochas Okorocha – all legislative steps we took then which made us to secure victory against Rochas Okorocha, he was instrumental to them.

“He is indeed an active and fair-minded young man and I strongly believe that he will deliver on mandate”, Okolieogwo remarked.
