President Muhammadu Okechukwu Buhari will ensure that the south-east gets what is due to the region under his administration.

This was made known by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, when he received a delegation from the south-east who visited the state house to show their support for the President.

Adesina commended the group and conveyed to them the assurances of the President that the region remains part of his plans.

“It was in the south-east region that he was given the name Okechukwu during the campaign, it was in the south-east, in Abia precisely, that Eze Ikonne gave him a traditional title,” Adesina said.

“So we know that every part of this country approves the leadership of President Muhammadu Okechukwu Buhari.

“Last week, youth from south-south region were here to also show their solidarity with him. This gives us confidence that no matter what anybody does, no matter the antics of people who plot mischief, Nigeria will remain one.

“You must have heard our president yesterday in his nationwide address when he said whatever it takes Nigeria will be kept together. And I tell you, whatever it takes this President he will keep the country together.

“Therefore, anybody who is planning something else should know that it’s just a mere waste of time.”

Adesina further said that the President would fulfill all the promises he made to the south-east during his campaign.

“The roads in the region will be fixed, the second Niger Bridge will be done, everything — infrastructure, positions, offices — all that the centre needs to do for the region, the south east region will get its own fair share,” he said.
