By Chizoba Njaka
The international recognition of the Labour Party Senatorial Candidate for Anambra Central, Ven. Tochukwu Sagacious Ikezue, as an Ambassador of Peace by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) in Accra, Ghana, has attracted commendations from prominent Labour Party leaders and other distinguished Nigerians.
Among those who congratulated Ven. Ikezue was the Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, who described him as a worthy representative of the Labour Party whose record of service reflects peace, integrity and commitment to the community.
Governor Otti said Ikezue's life as a priest and community leader had been characterised by peace and selfless service, adding that the international recognition was well deserved.
Also reacting to the honour, the Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Sen. Nenadi Usman, congratulated Ikezue on behalf of the party's National Working Committee. Usman described the award as recognition of Ikezue's capacity and commitment to the ideals of a New Nigeria, saying the honour had brought pride to the Labour Party.
Similarly, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe, who represents Abia South and is a former Senate Minority Leader, praised Ikezue's leadership qualities and described him as diligent, humble and passionate.
Abaribe said the UPF recognition was fitting for someone he had known to stand for peace and justice, adding that Ikezue's experience and leadership qualities would be valuable if he wins election to the 11th Senate.
Ven. Ikezue and former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, were among those honoured as Ambassadors of Peace at the international UPF event held in Accra, Ghana, which attracted dignitaries from different parts of the world.
The cleric was reportedly absent from the event due to electoral planning and activities and was represented by the Head of his Team Rescue Mission, Hon. Cletus Amaraegbu.
The recognition has continued to attract reactions from supporters within Anambra Central and members of the Labour Party, with his supporters describing the honour as significant to his political journey ahead of the senatorial election.
