“I don’t really have a good relationship with that woman and I don’t aspire to have a good relationship with her but for the sake of the industry, we need somebody [Catherine Afeku] who is active. Somebody who can pull crowd behind her.”.
According to him, although the minister had her flaws, she quickly learned on the job while in office before her exit, citing most of her achievements.
