He added, it “reinforces my stand that every Nigerian, irrespective of tribe or religion, can attain great heights in life when given the right support.”
According to Obi: “The delightful news of the recent promotion of Nigerian-born Kelechi Ndukwe, to the rank of Captain in the US Navy, reinforces my stand that every Nigerian, irrespective of tribe or religion, can attain great heights in life when given the right support.
“Kelechi Ndukwe, according to reports, is today the first Nigerian to command a US Navy warship. Through his firm determination, resilience and strength of character, Ndukwe rose through the ranks in the US Navy, where today, he is celebrated as a US Navy Captain.
“To Nigerians, especially the youths, Ndukwe now stands as a reference point for hard work and determination. And as the saying goes, “There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.”
“To us the leaders, Ndukwe’s story should inspire us to commit sincerely to the development of our dear nation, by building a conducive nation for our many talented youths to grow, compete and excel on the global stage.
“This we can achieve by investing aggressively in the critical areas of education, and health and pulling people out of poverty. I sincerely congratulate Kelechi Ndukwe on this very admirable and enviable feat which has again, brought honour to our nation.
“I wish him greater heights in service, even as he contributes to the development of our nation. The New Nigeria will focus on building a safe and conducive nation for our youths to thrive and excel in different areas for the greater good, growth and development of the nation.
“It is POssible.”
