Akpabio stated: “My joy knows no bounds as I celebrate this young and adroit Nigerian, Tunde Onakoya, who is imbued with the Nigerian spirit of determination, hard work, and resilience and has elevated our dear country in the comity of nations. On behalf of the Senate and the Nigerian National Assembly, my constituents in Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, and my family, I heartily congratulate and rejoice with Tunde Onakoya on this onerous achievement.”

He continued, “I followed closely while the competition was on, and I must commend the brand-new world champion, Tunde, for remaining steadfast despite the challenges he had during the journey. I am happy that the dream behind this laudable project is to raise funds for indigent African children to also, explore the opportunities that abound in the game of chess. This is a good way of grooming other champions and taking many children off the streets.”
