…As Minister assures no region will be left behind in Nigeria’s development drive
President Bola Tinubu has intensified efforts towards wooing the South East geopolitical zone ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The campaign came to the glare as the Minister of information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who led a Federal government delegation to a 2-day Citizen’s’ Engagement Series and federal government projects tour of the South East.
Idris emphasized while speaking that the citizens should not forget to give back to President Tinubu come May 2027 since he has been providing lots of things to the zone.
Prior to the end of the event transmitted live on Channels Television Thursday, the Minister assured the Enugu citizens that his team would convey the messages relayed to them by the citizens to President Tinubu, adding that the Federal government delegation would head to Ebonyi on Friday.
The event was rounded off with the recitation of the President Tinubu’s 2027 campaign anthem “On your mandate we shall stand….”
Earlier, the federal government stated that in Nigeria’s march towards development and prosperity, no region will be left behind.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made the assertion when he paid a visit to the Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, as part of activities lined up for the 2-day Citizen’s’ Engagement Series and FG Projects Tour of the South East, on Thursday.
“The Tinubu administration is committed to ensuring that no region is left behind in Nigeria’s development drive,” said the Minister, adding, “What we are seeing in Enugu – modern roads, upgraded schools, improved public facilities, is proof that President TINUBU’S policies are translating into real benefits for the people.”
In response, the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, attributed the financing of numerous infrastructure projects embarked by the state government to the oil subsidy removal policy of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, according to a statement by Rabiu Ibrahim, Special Assistant (Media) to Minister of Information and National Orientation.
“For us in Enugu, we are able to accomplish all we promised our people during the campaign, thanks to the bold decision taken by President Bola Tinubu, which has freed up resources needed to execute humongous capital projects,” said Governor, while listing ongoing projects in the state, which include the construction of 7,000 classrooms, 3,300 hospital beds and 2,000-hectare of 260 farm estates across the 260 wards of the state.
Governor Mbah also pledged more support for the policies of the federal government, saying they are in the best interest of the people of the state.
