Hon. Tony Nwulu, the sponsor of the most responsive "Not Too Young To Run Bill" in the 8th Assembly, current Federal House Member representating Isolo/Oshodi constituency and Imo state UPP Governorship candidate in the just concluded 2019 Governorship election, has transferred his historic mantle to Hon. Luke Onofiok, as the new successor at "The Convergence 2.0" event-Nigerians largest gathering of young newly elected representatives, held today at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
The democratic renewal initiative commenced with the distinguished presence of the Honourable Speaker of the House, RT Hon. Yakubu Dogara, alongside over 300 newly elected members of the Green Chambers in view of the fruition of "Not Too Young To Run Bill" in the just concluded general elections in Nigeria.

The event was organised by YIAGA AFRICA, Not Too Young to Run Movement and was supported by the United Kingdom Agency for International Development-UKAID. 
Nwulu joined the event few minutes after the occasion was declared open and his presence defined a fresh atmosphere as he spoke expediently on the relevance of young Nigerians in Leadership. He noted that a time shall come when 70percent of Representatives in the National Assembly will be youths and not the old people whom we see today.


In the course of his well organised speech presentation, he officially handed over the mantle of the youngest emerged legislative leader to Hon. Luke Onofiok, the vibrant 41years old Speaker of Akwa Ibom state house of Assembly and member-elect in the Federal House of Representatives.
The new delegated responsibility to Hon. Onofiok was indeed precedented and well deserving, as he holds overwhelming records of massive support in his reelection in 2015 and has sponsored more than 10 private member bills in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

"The Convergence 2.0" gathering was designed to inspire, empower and expose newly elected young legislators in the 2019 elections, with notable visions of resources and tools required for excellent public leadership and quality representation.

The 40 year old lawmaker was warmly received at the Nigeria's largest gathering of young elected representatives in company of Nigerian leadership consultant
and 2019 Imo State YPP Governorship Candidate, Linus Okorie.
