Jamie Njoku, the 31-year-old son of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Chief Edozie Njoku has been nominated as the Director of Strategy by British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak For Conservative Party.
His appointment followed a mini-reshuffle by Sunak after. the departure of Defence Secretary Ben Wallace from frontline politics.
Mr Njoku-Goodwin has previously held a number of roles within government, including acting as an adviser to former minister Matt Hancock and at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Until his appointment, Njoku was the UK Music chief executive. A position he held for three years.
Meanwhile, a socio-cultural organization of young Igbo professionals, Odinala Cultural Heritage Foundation (OCHIE Igbo), has commended the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, over the appointment of Jamie, son of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Edozie Njoku, as Director of Strategy for the Conservative Party.
He joined UK Music – the collective voice of the UK music industry – in September 2020 as Chief Executive and helped steer the sector through the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a statement on Sunday, Okoro Chinedum Benedict, Chairman Board of Trustees of OCHIE Igbo stated that going by the commentaries from the various heads of the various components/units that make up the UK Music Industry, “one could decipher why the UK Prime Minister and the Conservative Party settled for the young man”.
“That the Prime Minister and the entire Conservative Party of the United Kingdom reposes such confidence and responsibility on a young man of 31 years old man is awesome.
“Pathetically, the question we all should be asking ourselves is, if Jamie were to be in Nigeria, given his age and intellectual disposition, what position would have naturally come to him, the group queried.
“Simply put, the young Jamie Njoku would have been struggling to find a space in the endless queues of the army of potential thugs undergoing training under one politician. That is the way our politics is structured” OCHIE Igbo stated.
Jamie’s appointment, the group said, “reveals how the UK society and politics function as against ours’.
“Apparently, it is this preference for doing things wrongly and our dedication to promoting impunity that is responsible for Nigeria’s dysfunctionality.
“As Jamie prepares to lead the strategic team of his party in the King’s country, having washed his hands clean, we pray fervently to the Triune God to be with him so that in no distant time, he would join the likes of; Jakov Milatovic who at 36 is the President of Montenagro.
Gabriel Boric who at 37 is the President of Chile. Dritan Abazovic who at 37 is the Prime Minster of Montenegro. Mohammed Bin Salman who at 37 is the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. Alessandro Scarano who at 39 is the Regent of San Marino. Irakli Garibashvili who at 41 is the Prime Minister of Georgia” Okoro stated.
