Speaking at the event, the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, praised President Tinubu for what he described as unprecedented federal presence and investment in Ebonyi State and the South-East region. He highlighted major road and bridge projects, including the Trans-Sahara Road, the dualisation of the Enugu-Abakaliki Road, and the Afikpo-Uturu-Okigwe Road.
Umahi stated that the President’s interventions have significantly improved infrastructure and increased federal appointments for the people of the state, adding that Ebonyi would continue to support a leader who has demonstrated commitment to the region’s development.
Governor Francis Nwifuru also reaffirmed the state’s support for President Tinubu, describing the endorsement as a collective decision based on the administration’s performance and inclusive governance.
The governor equally received endorsement for a second term in office, with stakeholders citing ongoing development projects and reforms across the state.
