Naval Boss Appointment Proves Tinubu’s Critics Wrong … Chido Group 

The Director General of Chido Group, Mr. Idoko Chigozie Collins has congratulated the newly appointed Chief of the Naval Staff, Real Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, describing his appointment as proving those who want to crucify President Aswaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrong for having excluded Ndigbo in his kitchen cabinet.

In his congratulatory message signed and made available to 247thirdeye.com, the DG, Mr. Idoko Chigozie Collins who doubles as the Managing Director of Chido Cargo Logistics recalled that President Ahmed Tinubu’s critics had predicted that no Igboman nor Christian would make the list in the nation’s security architecture since the President and Commander-In-Chief of Nigeria Armed Forces omitted Ndigbo in his ministerial appointments.

Stating that the appointment of the 55-year-old Chief of Naval Staff who hails from Ozzi Osege – Ezike in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State toreplace Awwal Gambo remains a big boast to Ndigbo in the present administration, Mr.Idoko Chigozie Collins urged the new Chief of the Naval Staff to be an ambassador of not only Ezike in Igbo Eze North Council Area, Enugu State but Ndigbo by extension.

Recall that the new Chief of the Naval Staff was appointed alongside other service chiefs a few days ago by Mr. President, having gone through his outstanding records in his military career.

The Director General in his congratulatory message said his heart is full of joy over the appointment, noting that he was sure that the professionalism of the Naval boss will certainly transform Nigeria’s Navy. 

“I am excited that the new chief of the Naval Staff is from my town and our people, including the people of Enugu State will ever remain grateful to Mr. President for finding one of our sons worthy to occupy the prestigious position of the chief of the Naval Staff. 

“To whom much is given, much is equally expected from such a person and I do not doubt that our son, brother, uncle, and father is going to perform beyond the expectations of Nigerians”. Mr. Collins added.

Presenting the biography of the chief of the Naval Staff, the Managing Director, Chido Cargo Logistics, said Real Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla obtained his West African School Certificate from the Nigerian Military School, Zaria in 1987 where he graduated as the best student in Sciences. 

“He had A1 in all subjects except in the English language. He is a member of the Nigeria Defence Academy 39th Regular Course where he graduated with a BSc in Mathematics and was awarded the Sword of honors for the best naval cadet in his course.

I, Mr. Idoko Chigozie Collins, on behalf of my family, and the entire members of Chido Group, heartily congratulate you, our brother, Real Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla on your appointment as the new Chief of the Naval Staff by the President and Commander-In-Chief, of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Aswaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

I also wish to thank Mr. President for finding our son worthy to pilot the affairs of the nation’s water warlords. Indeed, the appointment of Real Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla has silenced the mouths of the critics who had predicted that no Igboman will make the list of President Bola Tinubu’s appointment and I am excited that our son and brother is now in charge of the Nigerian Navy.

Sir, I was not surprised that you will be elevated to the position of the number one Naval man in Nigeria ad your outstanding achievements in your military career speaks volumes about whom you are and I have no doubt that within a few months in office, the Nigerian Navy under your command will surpass their past achievements in their service to our fatherland.

As you ride on to pilot the affairs of the Nigerian Navy through making our waters safe for Nigerians, I may remind you that the expectations of our Ozzi Osege people, Ezike in Igboeze North, Enugu State and indeed, Nigerians are high but with God on your side, you are going to triumph as your wealth of experiences in the military profession will certainly make the difference. 

Sir, our duty as your brothers and sisters is to keep praying for your success while you battle, not only to lift the Nigerian Navy from the stage you met it but to reposition It and make it more enticing among other naval in the world.

Once more, congratulations Sir.
