Some Nigerians hailed his move just as many others thought it a publicity stunt to score political points.

Mohammed said:

“That form is incomplete without his email and phone numbers. How do we contact him when he fails to turn up for this shoemaking training?”

Shedrack Egbuhuzor wrote:

“Chidinma Emodi Chukwuemeka,is it functional or was it opened for political reasons j? How many Abians have gained employment in the so called company? Where can we get the products of the company? Where is the company located in Abia state?”

Ernest Uka Mbila reacted:

“Am from Abia state, I did not like Okezie before now, i have turn down several job offer in Abia state, even GZE. I went to Aba lately last month. i was glad even when it was raining (i did not go round the city) and to show how serious I was and impress, I got an investment immediately.

“He has done average in developing Aba. However, he is owing salary which ought to be number 1 priority. This is publicity stunt he is doing, he has so much work already to do than to learn show making, i expect him to invest heavily in opening a shoe factory or making shoe soles that will compete with international standard in Aba.”
