to the state to tender the Chieftaincy title for onward
presentation to President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We appreciate your works and spread of development around the
country and especially, the ongoing Enugu – Port Harcourt
expressway reconstruction, which has made the movement of goods and
services easier within the South East, South South geo-political
areas. We are particularly happy about this rehabilitation because
of our peculiar location as a border local government, with four
states, namely Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra states”, the monarch
stated.

auxiliary way to Umauku.

this country. Corruption has become endemic in our society. We
thank God for bringing a man like you at the helm of affairs in
this country at a time the Name Nigeria had become synonymous with
corruption, he stressed.
The monarch assured of their full support, loyalty and
collective prayers towards the success of President Buhari’s
re-election bid.
Gov. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who represented the President
assured that the Buhari administration would focus more on far –

Nigerians and he will continue to carry every section of the
country along towards moving our country to the next level of
progress”, he maintained.
The governor stated that the President made key appointments into
his cabinet from the South East even as his administration had
invested heavily in several infrastructural projects in that part
of the country.

which is a demonstration of your love for him. I want to assure
