Speaking on the event, President of of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State, Mayor Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, said it is the dawn of an interesting era for Igbo men and women worldwide.
Aguene said, “I feel happy like every other reasonable Igbo man and woman all over the world. I am part of the committee. This is because of my closeness to Chief Chidi Anyaegbu {Chisco} and the confidence he has in me as a grassroots person in leadership”.
“You see, Chisco has one particular behaviour that is not common in Nigeria. The worse you can do to yourself is to go to him to blackmail anyone in pursuit of favour. Or you try to present yourself superior to any other human being that is created by God. You will just make him to hate you.”
“If you tell him any negative story about someone, he will tell you that you are the one who has something in common with the person. So, for him, he can only talk about someone he is close to.”
“Chief Chidi Anyaegbu {Chisco} is a born leader. Above all, he is a multi-billionaire in any currency you can think of. But very accessible to all class of people both small and big.
No matter the kind of problem you bring to Chisco, he must assist you as far as it has nothing to do with criminality.”
“You can’t approach Chisco with anything that has to do with criminality. So, it is congratulations to all Ndigbo and Nigerians generally. Now, we are having a leader, who nobody can corrupt with money.”
“He has been working with almost all the Heads of State from General Abacha till date. The current President has been his friend since when he was working in Exxon Mobil before he even became the Governor of Lagos State. President Tinubu knows Chisco as a man of integrity and can give the story of Chisco more than any other Lagosians.
Chidi Anyaegbu is one of the Nigeria’s businessmen, who have no criminal records till date either corruption with government or dealing with individuals.”
“His real estate business has extended to Canada, UK , USA and other parts of Africa. His transport business has extended to many African countries, yet his humility cannot be over emphasized. Ndigbo, you have gotten it right.”
“Chisco is a man that can speak on behalf of business men and intervene for politicians who are having issues among themselves.
Ndigbo, what else do we want when we have someone like Chidi Anyaegbu {Chisco} as Mayor Ndigbo? Chisco has it all. That is why millions of Ndigbo are confident that we have gotten a leader who can speak especially for businessmen and women.”
“It is a known fact that Ndigbo are predominately business people and for almost a century, nobody has been speaking for Igbo business men and women. Most of government policies affect Igbo businessmen because that is their calling.
We have got the mouth piece for Ndigbo in business all over the world. He is Chidi Anyaegbu {Cisco). Everyone can see some things {not to mention all the things} which this businessman {Chisco} has done for humanity.”
“He is capable to lead. He is a man who has it all and has transversed different endeavours. He is a man with midas touch, who has made successes in business concerns spanning in various sectors, transport, oil and gas, health, finance, aviation, real estate, logistics to mention just a few. He has invested massively in education in building schools, giving scholarship to indigent students and funding universities. In the bid to promote the evolution of transport and to facilitate the training of personnel proficient in transport management, Chief as guru in the sector, instituted Chidi Anyaegbu Endorsement for Transport Studies in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka.
Hence the faculty became the first Transport Faculty in Nigerian University.”
“Chisco is household name not only in Igbo land but also in Nigeria. His transport business, Chisco Transport Nigeria Ltd, is the most popular transport company in Nigeria with routes covering the entire Nigeria landscape and West African coast.”
“Chisco has more than 4000 Nigerians in his pay roll as workers under his conglomerate, Chisco, one of the leading transport companies in West Africa
His noble strides in promoting the cause of humanity have earned him various awards and recognitions from different quarters.”
“He has built churches, health centres not only in Nigeria but across African countries. So, he is the man of the moment, Chief Chidi Anyaegbu, {Chisco} the Mayor Ndigbo. If not him, who else? Aguene asked.
