Chief Nwokeji with Governor Patrick after the meeting

IONE’s political impresario, Chief Paul Nwokeji (Okankwu I Home and Abroad) is a man of vast political talents and deep social connections. Chief Nwokeji, whose affable character and easy smiles contributed immensely to calming the once turbulent political waters of IONE, has recently started beaming his searchlight on the volatile inferno of the World Igbo Congress with a view to helping resolve the problems of the ailing organization.

Actions such as these have endeared Chief Nwokeji to his friends and confounded his foes. Recently, Chief Nwokeji’s talents burst forth into the Massachusetts political arena when he met with the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, to discuss the affair of ndiigbo in the state.  

IONE executives congratulate Chief Nwokeji and demand his signature XO during the next meeting. Okankwu, kingmaker extraordinaire, birikwa!!
