The apex Igbo organization,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Monday applauded President Muhammadu Buhari on the area of
road construction in the region.
The National President of
Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro made this known while briefing
journalists in Abakaliki.
He, however, stated that the
South east region will soon take a stand on who to support in the forthcoming
general election.
Isiguzoro noted that Buhari of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) are good presidential candidates but Igbo will soon
decide on who to vote in the 2019 election.
He, however, called on Buhari to
fulfill his pledge on reactivation of the famous Enugu Coal Mine, which he made
during his campaign tour in 2015.
“In 2015, when President
Muhammadu Buhari was seeking our votes, he did promise us that he would
reactivate the ‘Enugu Coal Mine’ but till date the place is still moribund.
“And on who to vote as President
come 2019, I want to state here categorically that we are yet to take a stand”,
he stressed.
Isiguzoro also condemned the slow
pace of work by contractors handling the ongoing rehabilitation of some federal
roads in the region, noting that the delay had claimed so many lives.
“I must tell you that the people
of South east region is happy with President Buhari’s ingenuity particularly in
the area of road rehabilitation, like the Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-Okigwe and Port
Harcourt highways.
“So, we are using this
opportunity to ask the contractors to hasten up because Christmas season is just
around the corner. Another reason is that many lives have been lost on road
accidents along those roads”, he added.
