The Minister of Works, David Umahi, at the weekend, rallied support for President Bola Tinubu, saying that the president has transformed the South East in road infrastructure.
According to him, such roads include the Onitsha-Enugu Road, Owerri-Aba Road, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Enugu-Abakaliki dualisation, Calabar-Ebonyi-Benue-Nasarawa-Abuja Renewed Hope Legacy project, and bridges, among others.
Umahi represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the occasion of the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of the throne of the traditional ruler of Amaifeke Community in Orlu Local Government Area and Chairman, Imo State Council of Traditional Institutions, Eze Dr E C Okeke, Ezeudo II of Amaifeke Ancient Kingdom, at Eze Imo Palace, Owerri, in Imo State.
According to Umahi, the president congratulated the celebrant on his long and eventful 25 years of royal reign and described him as a man of profound integrity and a leadership asset not only to Imo State but also to the entire South East and the nation. He stated that the people of the South East have a pride of place in his Renewed Hope agenda of rebuilding Nigeria and making her the pride of the continent of Africa.
He used the opportunity to solicit the unalloyed support and solidarity of the people of the South East for the Renewed Hope administration of the president. He asked for unanimous support for the re-election of Tinubu in 2027, noting that the South East has not had it this good in terms of inclusiveness in the economic and political landscape of the nation.
