As African and other world leaders continue to congratulate and commend the sterling qualities of the newly appointed Minister of Justice and Solicitor General of Alberta Canada, Kaycee Madu, a son of Mbaise, Imo state, Nigeria, the entire members of Mbaise Policy RoundTable, MPR Inc. has joined the world to congratulate their great son for making them proud internationally.
In a congratulatory message signed on behalf of the entire members of MPR Inc. by Professor Eddie Oparaoji, Dr. Jude Iheoma and Atty Paschal Ukpabi, Chairman, Chief Program Director and Executive Secretary/Legal Adviser respectively of the organization, they stated that his recent appointment as the first black Justice Minister in Canada coming right after his earlier dual historic accomplishments as Minister of Municipal Affairs for Alberta Canada- the third largest of the Province, and member of the Legislative Assembly, are no mean feats but a recognition of his capacity and immeasurable contributions to professional and public service in the world.
MPR expressed confidence that Hon Justice Kaycee Madu will continue to apply due diligence in the execution of his new assignments for much greater heights and achievements. Their statement reads: “Hon Minister of Justice and Solicitor General of Alberta Canada, a son of Mbaise nation, we congratulate you our role model, Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria and indeed the entire black race are proud of you. These your accomplishments connote that competence and excellence are not racially ascribed, or unhindered by socio-cultural heritage, an indication that if one works hard and play by the rules, in an accommodating environment, the sky is only the starting line. We will always remember you in our prayers as we offer you our hands of partnerships and friendship as you administer your very new strategic portfolio”.
The appointment of Kaycee Madu as the first black man to occupy ministerial post at that level in Canadian history has increased the sensitivity to racial concern in the world. The Alberta’s premier described the appointment “as a powerful statement at a time of increasing sensitivity to racial prejudice. Mr Kaycee Madu while reacting to the congratulatory message, expressed his thanks to the members and leadership of the Mbaise Policy Roundtable for their best wishes and prayers noting that he is filled with joy that a noble son of Mbaise has brought much happiness, excitement and hope to the black race. “Mbaise is a great land with great people and throughout history, the Mbaise nation has played critical roles in shaping Nigeria”. Hon. Minister Kaycee said.
The first black Justice Minister in Canada added that he has been receiving calls and congratulatory messages from all over the world and has spoken to several African Heads of States including the Nigerian President Mohammadu Buhari, Vice President Osibanjo, several governors and deputy governor from Nigeria. Commenting on the implication of his appointment and his wish for Nigeria and our people, Minister Kaycee said: “I have always said my story could only have been possible in my province of Alberta. I love my home country, Nigeria, but there is no question that I look forward to a day when my fellow countrymen and women in that country can achieve their God-given potential, regardless of the part of the country they come from and regardless of who their parents are”.
The Media coordinator of Mbaise Policy Roundtable (MPR) Inc. Mr. Casca Ohanele observed that Minister Kaycee’s appointment will no doubt motivate other sons and daughters of Mbaise to think more of what they can do to uplift Mbaise nation into a first class community in a third world country by making impact and achieving greatness wherever they are in the world. He noted that MPR is the premier pre-eminent Mbaise Public Policy and Business Advisory Council in the World, focused entirely on the development of Mbaise and Imo State, through the facilitation of financial and other resources, Private Investments and Private Public Partnerships.
