Buhari Shocks South-East, Liters Region With Massive Projects Ahead Of 2019

The Federal Government, has said that there are 69 ongoing projects in the entire South-East region, currently been executed by President Muhammadu Buhari

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, stated this in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

This came as the South-East Governors had recently alleged that no infrastructural development has been executed in the entire region, under President Buhari’s watch.

“While this claim may have made headlines, it is totally untrue. His Excellencies were either misquoted, or they were quoted out of context. Either way, this allegation flies in the face of available evidence’’, he said.

Lai Mohammed also promised to publish the full list of the projects, and the State-by-State breakdown.

He said no part of the country, including the South-East, had been left out of the massive infrastructural projects of the current administration, adding that, from the proceeds of the N100 billion Sukuk Bond alone, the South-East got the N16.6 billion worth of projects, just like any other zone.

Former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given more reasons why Nigerians must vote back president Muhammadu Buhari.

“Three years is not enough time for retouching, redevelopment and re-engineering the country. There is a lot of hope, there is a lot of expectation.”

Tinubu also stated that president Buhari is gradually retooling the economy, therefore he needs time and patience to do this, not magic.

“Nigerians adopted democracy; we are going to live through this democratic government. We need a President Buhari to retool and re-engineer, that is what he is doing in the economy and he is doing it gradually, otherwise we don’t want it to fall apart again,” Tinubu said.

Tinubu didn’t fail to drag past governments, who he blames for eating the seed of growth for breakfast.

“Therefore, there is nothing for lunch or dinner. Nothing to harvest that is why we talk about looters.”

“Economic development and the future of the youth are crucial in the growth of any nation and we are taking care of that. You have to re-grow the economy, re-engineer it from bottom, during that process; it is always very difficult for ordinary people.”

He enjoined Nigerians not to lose focus.

“We were meticulous, dedicated and focused and we lifted the spirits of our people and that is why it is important for Nigerians to be focused now.”
