The Ezeani II of Mmaku Kingdom, Agwu LGA of Enugu State, Maduabuchi Nevobasi, has stated that the Igbo will always support President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Enugu monarch stated this on Friday, when he paid a courtesy visit to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Deputy Director (Information), State House, Abiodun Oladunjoye, released a statement to this effect yesterday.
According to Nevobasi, the President has done a lot for the South-East in the last six years, and as such, he would always be welcome in the zone.
The monarch highlighted the on-going construction of the Second Niger Bridge, the new runway of the Enugu International Airport and the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway as part of the achievements of the president in the region.
“Look at the Second River Niger Bridge, which is going on at a frenetic pace. Enugu International Airport has a brand new runway and is now in use. The Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Onitsha-Enugu road, and many others are also things to point at in the region”, he was quoted as saying.
“We thank President Buhari for all he has done for Nigeria in six years. It has not been easy due to many challenges, particularly security, but the good work continues”, he added.
On the anti-corruption efforts of the Buhari administration, the monarch commended the president for his “admirable strides” since he assumed office, urging him not to relent.
