In his speech, the APC chieftain commended Nigerians for providing the bulwark for the unpresedented political change, adding that the collective efforts of Nigerians were responsible for the emergence of President Buhari.

"What was accomplished in 2015 was not a singular effort. It was done through the collective love and labour of millions of Nigerians. A handful of them were well known. Most of them are hardworking anonymous people who together constitute the backbone and great strength of this nation. God in His wisdom placed me in the position to recognize the change that was needed and to help effectuate that cjange. I thank God for giving me this chance and for allowing me to be born a black man and a Nigerian." he said.

"I am dedicating the award to the ordinary citizens of Anambra State. The daily road sweepers, the zero porthole guys that maintain our roads, the investors that heeded our call to come and invest in Anambra, the farmers that are working hard to put us on the map and more importantly the security outfits that have today made Anambra the safest state in Nigeria,” Governor Obiano stated.  Also present at the award were Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Chief Orji Uzo Kalu, Lai Mohamed and other guests
