President Muhammadu Buhari has thanked the people of the South East for the “enthusiastic” welcome he received when he visited the region on Tuesday.
President Buhari, who is on a two-day visit to the South East, arrived in Abakiliki where he inaugurated a number of road projects, including two Flyovers on the section of the African Trans-Saharan Highway that runs between Enugu and Cameroon.
In a statement via his official Twitter on Tuesday, Mr. Buhari also promised the Southeast region that his administration will deliver on all promises made to them.

I thank the people of the Southeast for the enthusiastic welcome they’ve accorded me since I arrived this morning. From Enugu to Abakaliki, I have enjoyed a profuse display of warmth from everyone; political leaders, traditional leaders, citizens. I thank you all. pic.twitter.com/yxNhRFFmIw

The welcome also came with 2 Chieftaincy titles: Enyioma 1 of Ebonyi, which I am told means Trustworthy friend of Ebonyi; & Ochioha Ndigbo, which means Leader of Igbo people. I am a strong believer in the unity of Nigeria. Our diversity should be a source of strength not weakness pic.twitter.com/GJBJiH5tzg

Let me make this clear: We will deliver on all our promises to you. I said it when I met with Southeast leaders last month in Abuja, in response to the issues they raised about the state of roads and infrastructure in the region. I’m saying it again: We will not let you down.
