Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has
listed ways the Buhari government had demonstrated its love the people of
South-east.
He said despite the fact that the
president got the lower votes from the Igbo, that has not reflected in his
policies and projects.
In a chat with newsmen in Lagos,
Osinbajo said Buhari could have “appointed junior ministers. By appointing four
senior ministers, I think that it shows that he is interested in the South East
region of Nigeria.”
“Secondly, previous government
merely talk about the second Niger Bridge. We have moved to site, we are
working on the second Niger Bridge.
“We’ve provided for the second
Niger Bridge in our budget we have also provided infrastructure fund for the
second Niger Bridge.
“Also, we are doing the
Lagos-Calabar road. The Lagos-Calabar road goes through the South East region,
that’s one of the very important thing we are doing and we put money behind it
"The President himself
negotiated the loan from the Chinese government. He actually went to China to
negotiate and these are ongoing projects.
“Ariaria market today is possibly
the largest MSME hub in the whole of West Africa. The Federal Government, with
the private sector, is powering Ariaria market so that every of the 21,000
shops in Ariaria market has power.
“The roads to the market are in
the budget. Let’s bring it down to what we are doing; the first of our MSME
clinics was in Aba and we are committed to ensuring Aba is a hub that it ought
to be.
“This is where we spend a lot of
time and energy to move regulatory agencies so that they actually have a
one-stop centre there, so that NAFDAC, SON can move into that place.
“There is a lot of work that’s
going on. The truth is that we do what needs to be done. We were elected to do
the right thing by everyone and we are doing it. I’ve gone to the South East
several times.
“I’ve visited Nnewi and many
parts of Anambra as well, where we look around and look at ways of supporting
industries there and we are still committed to that zone.”
