Ahead of the planned nationwide protest in Nigeria over economic hardship, Minister of Works David Umahi has said that the South-East zone of Nigeria would not be part of any protest against President Bola Tinubu.
Umahi also stated that President Tinubu’s administration is making hard decisions to restore the country’s lost glory.
Umahi made this known in Abakaliki on Wednesday during the stakeholders’ engagement meeting on the alignment for the Ebonyi State 101km segment of the 477km Cross River-South East-North Central-Apo Abuja 6-lane superhighway.
He warned those who are fanning the ember of division in the country to desist from it, as it amounts to a waste of time.
He noted that South-East people are not endangered, and should avoid sit-at-home because of its economic sabotage and self-inflicted injury.
The Works Minister also urged Nigerians to support the legacy projects of Bola Tinubu, explaining that the coastal highway is coming with huge economic benefits that cut across the country.
The high point of the event was the formal unveiling of the third legacy project, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which cuts across Ebonyi, Enugu, Benue, and Abuja.
