A GOVERNOR WHO FAILS TO APPRECIATE THE PRESIDENT’S EFFORTS DOES NOT DESERVE A SECOND TERM – IGBO BU IGBO SOUTHEAST FORUM
Abuja, Nigeria.
The National Leader of Igbo bu Igbo Southeast Forum, Hon. Chief Uzozie Henry Obiajulu, has said that any governor who refuses to acknowledge the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not deserve a second term in office.
Chief Uzozie, was reacting to the recent counter-statement by Governor Alex Otti against the endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in 2027 by Governor Hope Uzodinma, Chairman of the Southeast Governors’ Forum.
It should be loud and clear that the Southeast region is fully in support of Governor Hope Uzodinma’s position on the return of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027,” Chief Uzozie stated.
Governor Hope Uzodinma, as the most experienced serving governor in the Southeast and leader of the Southeast Governors’ Forum, has demonstrated capacity in leadership, infrastructure development, and good governance. This is made possible through the massive support and resources provided by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure that the Southeast region continues to thrive and move toward prosperity.”
Chief Uzozie, further stated that “it is the right time for Governor Alex Otti to acknowledge the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rather than play politics and exhibit ungrateful disregard toward a President who has ensured substantial federal allocations to his state for the purpose of good governance.”
He maintained that “the glory Governor Alex Otti enjoys today is a direct result of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s good governance and commitment to the Southeast region. For that reason, the Southeast region stands firmly behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office.
