Ambassadorial List: Bishop Eke Applauds Tinubu for South-East Inclusiveness, Commends Nomination of Neya Kalu, Says Church Is Praying for the President

Abia-born cleric and General Overseer of Kingly People’s Assembly, Bishop Silas Eke, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating Barr. Neya Uzor Kalu as a non-career ambassador, describing the move as “a clear demonstration that the President is not marginalising the South-East.”

Speaking with journalists in Umuahia, the respected cleric noted that the President’s decision to include multiple nominees from the South-East in the 32-man ambassadorial list sends “a bold message of national inclusion, equity, and fairness.

According to him, “The number of nominees from the South-East shows clearly that President Tinubu is not marginalising our region. People should give credit when it is due. What the President has done is commendable and reassuring.”

Bishop Eke commended the President’s choice of Neya Uzor Kalu, describing her as an exceptional young leader with strong credentials.

“Neya has capacity, a strong CV, good background, and the kind of exposure that represents Nigeria well anywhere in the world. Her nomination didn’t come by accident; she is qualified and deserves it,” he said.

He further stated that the church remains deeply committed to praying for the nation’s leaders, particularly President Tinubu and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.

“At Kingly People’s Assembly, we are praying seriously for the President and for Senator Orji Uzor Kalu. God is with both of them. God loves them, and they will serve their tenures successfully as President and Senator and also win their reelections. We are confident in God’s promises,” Bishop Eke affirmed.

He urged Nigerians to support the government, foster unity, and pray consistently for national peace and progress.
