To strengthen regional support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his son, Seyi Tinubu has appointed High Chief Johnbosco Onunkwo as the South East Zonal Leader of the advocacy group, Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN).

High Chief Onunkwo, a philanthropist, engineer, and seasoned political figure, was selected for his track record in community development and his ability to connect the federal government with local stakeholders.

His responsibilities include coordinating state chapters, strengthening communication between the presidency and South East leaders, and mobilising support for Tinubu’s economic and social reforms.

Speaking on the appointment, the Minister of Youth Development, Mr  Ayodele Olawande described Onunkwo’s experience and humanitarian work as key assets for the role.
