Iyiegbu described President Tinubu as “a City Boy and a man of commerce,” affirming his determination to ensure inclusivity in executing his duties.

“All of us need all of us in order to achieve our national aspirations, and I am committed to carrying every Nigerian along in all that I do,” he added.
