Ekweremadu, yesterday paid a private visit to President Buhari at the
state house, Abuja. According to Ekweremadu, they went to express their
concern over issues affecting the region, particularly issues bordering
on security.
“For us from the South-east, we believe that dialogue is better than any other form of engagement.
So we decided to visit the President and present to him some of the
concerns of the South East, including the issues of roads, general
infrastructure, the rail and airports. We had a good conversation and
he promised to look into the issues” he told state house correspondents
Senator Abaribe who is the leader of the South East Senators caucus,
said they also raised concerned about how the region has been
shortchanged in the scheme of things.
"We know that there are problems everywhere but we also believe that the
south-east is the zone that is far more short-changed at this time than
other zones. We also talked about the issue of appointments from the
South-east, especially with respect to the National Security Council.
The President also told us that governors of the South-east have also
engaged him on the same problems"he said
