Speaking in an interview with BBC in his country home, Nwangene in Imo State, Chinagorom said that though the promise had taken some time, he has not lost hope that the president will fulfil his promise.
According to him, when he made Nigeria proud in London and returned to Nigeria, the Buhari military government then had promised to reward him for the honour that he brought to Nigeria, but that up till now, the promise has not been fulfilled.
He said that what he achieved was a rare feat since more than 89 countries contested, adding that till date, the record has not been broken as he is still with the crown.
