…Cites FG infrastructure in the region
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-East), Barrister Mrs Chioma Nweze, has urged residents of the region to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 general election.
This, as she noted, that the endorsement would facilitate the completion of ongoing infrastructural projects across the south-east zone.
Nweze made the call on Saturday during a meeting of stakeholders and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okposi community, Ohaozara Local Government of Ebonyi State.
According to her, “the south-east has witnessed unprecedented federal presence under the Tinubu administration, several developmental projects currently ongoing in the region have brought a sense of inclusion to the people.
“South-East people are happy to come out en masse to vote for Mr President, this is the first time the region has had it this good,” she emphasised.
Nweze stated that during previous administrations, the region suffered neglect in terms of federal infrastructure and that the current government had changed the narrative through road construction, bridge projects, solar-powered street lighting and educational support initiatives.
She cited the ongoing bridge project linking Afikpo in Ebonyi State with communities in Cross River State as one of the landmark projects being executed by the federal government.
“Even the bridge Afikpo people have been yearning for over 100 years to connect them with their neighbours in Cross River is undergoing construction,” she stated.
The presidential aide further commended the federal government for the installation of solar street lights on highways in the south-east, noting that the initiative would help address insecurity in the region.
She equally highlighted developments in her community, including the construction of a new primary healthcare centre, new schools and ongoing road dualization projects.
“We have a brand-new primary healthcare centre, four new schools and several other projects facilitated by the federal government.
“Through Mr President, our roads are being dualised with concrete, and there are plans for a flyover in the Court area,” she reiterated.
Nweze maintained that the federal government’s intervention in education, including financial support for students, has contributed positively to the sector.
“For the first time in many years, there have been no strikes disrupting academic activities, our children are in schools, and students are receiving support funds to assist in their education.”
She urged the people of the south-east to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, stressing that the President has demonstrated commitment to the development of the region and the nation at large
