Mrs. Chioma Nweze, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Community Engagement for the South-East, has called for strong support for the President in the upcoming 2027 elections. Nweze made this appeal following an inspection of federal road projects, emphasizing that the scale of infrastructure development under Tinubu's administration is unprecedented and demonstrates the President's commitment to the region. She stated that the extensive road construction and rehabilitation projects have significantly improved living conditions for the people of the South-East.

This is unprecedented in the annals of the country, as the President has demonstrated unbridled love and affection for the people of the zone.

Nweze specifically pointed to the ongoing superhighway project, which spans multiple states including Ebonyi, as a transformative initiative aimed at fostering economic growth and enhancing connectivity. She believes this project will stimulate trade, ease transportation, and strengthen community ties across the nation. "This is democracy delivering its dividends in their entirety, and the South-East cannot wish for a better leader at the helm," she remarked, urging a massive vote for Tinubu to sustain this development.

President Tinubu, therefore, deserves to be voted for massively by the region in appreciation and to sustain this unrivalled development.

Further commending the President, Nweze also highlighted the progress on the Ndibe Bridge and other major federal highways in the region. She recalled the past difficulties faced by motorists on the Afikpo-Okigwe Federal Highway due to poor road conditions and security concerns, contrasting it with the current seamless travel facilitated by improvements under the Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi. The presidential aide also encouraged students in the South-East to leverage the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to access higher education, noting its role in expanding opportunities and reducing financial barriers.

This is democracy delivering its dividends in their entirety, and the South-East cannot wish for a better leader at the helm.
