A former Director-General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe, says the recent visit by President Bola Tinubu to Enugu deserves commendation for its impact on the region.
Okupe, in a statement on Sunday, said Tinubu by his action, has demonstrated his personality as a bridge builder and lover of all.
The former presidential spokesperson further said Tinubu’s visit to Enugu is a game changer and a demonstration of his open-heartedness and affection for the South-East.
“The visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Enugu on Saturday is a major game changer.
“Any objective observer can easily discern President Tinubu’s open heartedness and unrestrained affection for the South-East.
“He (Tinubu) spoke openly and candidly from his heart and made very significant commitments for support for developmental projects in the south east,” Okupe said.
Okupe added that any fair-minded Nigerian would commend Tinubu for his interest in the South-East.
He urged the President to continue to build bridges and ensure political stability in Nigeria.
“Without any iota of doubt, the age -long mantra, which was very dear to the late Igbo leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, that ‘the absence of an east-west political alliance is a potential existential threat to the unity and stability of Nigeria is an all-time truism.
“I will personally urge Mr President, while working tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of the masses, to continue to build bridges across the nation for our political stability and peaceful coexistence,” Okupe submitted.
News360 Info recalls President Tinubu visited Enugu on Saturday at the invitation of Governor Peter Mbah and commissioned some projects executed by the state government.
