Speaking during the inauguration of the event planning Committee, Hon Kayceey expressed gratitude to God, his cabinet and everyone who has sacrificed in one way or the other in ensuring that there is peace within the Igbos living in the State.

He further tasked those given the responsibility of organizing the forthcoming epoc making event to be committed and diligent in planning the event.

Administering the oath of allegiance during the inauguration ceremony, Barr Chris Ezeibe expressed
happiness for the achievement of Peace within the Igbos in the State.
