The Presidency has told the people of the South-East that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has been fair to them, contrary to the claims by some people that they had been marginalised.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in an opinion article he wrote to coincide with Buhari’s two-day visit to Ebonyi and Anambra states which would start on Tuesday (today).
Shehu said, “On the basis of projects alone, no one should have any reason to doubt the good intentions of the President towards the South-East.
“Even if some of the people may not support the government, they cannot deny that their region has got a fair deal from President Buhari.
“The President, in his conscience, is clear on all fronts that he has been fair to the region and will continue to encourage the efforts of each state as it strives to excel in one endeavour or another.”
The presidential spokesman noted that the Federal Government’s support of Ebonyi State’s rice-growing schemes testified to a successful partnership between the centre and the region.

He said Buhari’s visit to Ebonyi and Anambra was meant to show support to a governor who had done so much in promoting the President’s policy on food self-sufficiency and to endorse his party’s candidate for the governorship election holding on Saturday.

He added that the President’s visit would go further in soothing frayed nerves and providing an opportunity to listen more to the cries of the people of the region.
