The spokesman of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Council in the south east geopolitical zone, Dr. Josef Onoh, has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a forbearer towards achieving a President of South East extraction.
Onoh spoke on the background of Tinubu’s South East Town Hall meeting in Owerri, Imo state, on Thursday.
The presidential candidate promised to resolve most agitations from the south east region, including having a stint in the presidency during the meeting.
Onoh said that Tinubu becoming the next President would be a precursor to the actualisation of the long yearning and aspiration of the region to produce a President, adding that he will also mediate on other troubling issues of self determination and insecurity in the south east.
He stressed as Tinubu promised in Owerri, he will ensure the restoration of the south east industrialization and revitalization of the collapsed industries in the region, particularly in Aba and return the region’s economic competitiveness as was obtained in the periods past.
According to the regional campaign spokesman, Tinubu’s statements in Owerri were a confirmation of his manifesto content which include economic buoyancy, infrastructural development, job creation and social justice that comprises soothing politically frayed nerves.
On the N1bn donation of the south east businessmen for the Asiwaju campaign, Onoh said that it was reciprocation of the region on the conducive environment the south west has created for business growth where the Igbo are major players of the financial sector.
