The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, and the entire South East have been pleaded with to, irrespective of party affiliation, stand with President Bola Tinubu.
The plea was made on Thursday by the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, during a visit to Otti in his office, following an inspection of ongoing federal road projects in the state—projects expected to be inaugurated by the President later this year.
Umahi, who, appreciated the good, long standing relationship between Tinubu and Otti, noted that the President is doing many projects in the South East, stating, “We have every reason as Ndigbo and people of the South-East, irrespective of party affiliation, to stand with this man (President Tinubu) who is standing with the Southeast to rewrite our history and relaunch us into the mainstream of the federal government.
“So, I will not preach to you about support for the President because you have been the President’s very good friend, even before I came to know the President, and I am happy that you have so much love for him. And, without speaking for you, I will beat my chest to say that all the governors of Southeast are standing with the President.”
