‘Why we held TV reality show’

Strongest State in Nigeria Reality TV Show was designed to unite Nigerians, its convener, High. Chief Engr. Dr. Johnbosco Onunkwo said in Abuja recently.

Dr. Onunkwo said this during the Eviction Finale of the TV Reality Show, which held at Congress Hall, Transcorp Hilton, Abuja. He pointed out that the aim was to “identify, harness and nurture the various Indigenous and significant attributes of our various states and ethnicities. The progress and growth of any nation cannot be distanced from the bonds that unify the various ethnicities that make it up.

“This event is timely and is coming at a critical time in our history where the unity factor of our great country is being threatened like never before. We see this in the seeming proliferation of ethnic and religious based conflicts, and especially the ignorance that fuels the warped rhetoric that our diversities are so complex and immiscible.”

The Governor of Jigawa State, H.E Governor Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, Anambra Billionaire, Prince Arthur Eze, Chief of Staff to Former Imo State Governor, Hon. Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and other important personalities attended the event organized by Johnbosco Onunkwo Foundation.

Other personalities at the event included Alhaji Rufai Machika, Dr. Uche Ogah (Hon. Minister State, Mines and Steel Development), Hon. Yemi Adaramola, Hon. Jasper Azuatalam (ED, NSITF), Rt. Hon Bamidele Salam, Chairman Board of Trustees ALGON, Mr. Odunayo Ategbero, Director General of Nigeria Tourism Development Board, Mr. Folorunsho Coker, Hon. Emeka Ikedi, Hon. Sam Onwuaso, Hon. Abike Dabiri Erewa (Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari) and other notable personalities.
