Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, has called on the people of the South-East to increase their support for President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that the present federal administration has been responsive to the needs of the people of the region.
He said this yesterday at the 29th Synod of Anglican Diocese on the Niger at St. Thomas Church, Oraukwu in Idemili South Local Government Area of the state.
Obi said that unlike successive administrations, Jonathan’s government has demonstrated unequalled commitment towards upgrading of infrastructure in the South-East.
He gave examples that included the completion of the domestic terminal of the Akanu Ibiam Airport in Enugu, commencement of work on the international terminal,rehabilitation of some federal roads in the region and approval for the construction of the Second Niger Bridge.
The governor further commended President Jonathan for his support during the burial of some prominent people from the South-East.
