After his visit to Imo state yesterday, Thursday September 9, 2021, President Muhammadu Buhari has thanked the government and people of Imo state for the warm reception.
He stated that it was a pleasure to have paid visit to the state and to be hosted by Imo state Governor Hope Uzodinma.
According to the president, I was pleased to see and commission his impactful infrastructure projects, and to note that he is giving infrastructure the same kind of priority that we are giving it at the Federal level. I firmly believe that when you get infrastructure right, Nigerians will mind their own businesses. And the Igbos will especially benefit from this ongoing infrastructure revolution, because, as a group, they are truly the most enterprising.
He noted that there isn't any town in Nigeria where the Igbos aren't in charge of economic activities, saying,
There is no town you will visit in Nigeria without seeing the Igbos being in-charge of economic activities. The evidence is there for everyone to see, that Igbos are in charge of Nigeria’s economy. It is therefore unthinkable for me that any Igbo man would consider himself not to be a part of Nigeria.
President Buhari said that he is very pleased to what he saw in Imo state, and assured support for the state and the entire region within the constitution of Nigeria.
He added that his administration will complete all ongoing key projects in the South East, including the 2nd Niger Bridge, and other major highways, as well as the railway lines and routes linking the region with other parts of the country.
