The Presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has commended senators from the South East for working hard to realise the South East Development Commission, SEDC, which bill was passed recently.
He gave the commendation yesterday in a terse statement by the Abia State coordinator of the Atiku/Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Charles Ogbonnaya in Umuahia.
Recall that the Bill co-sponsored by Senators Stalla Oduah (PDP-Anambra) and Samuel Anyanwu (PDP-Imo) aims at enhancing the infrastructural development of the South East zone, which is grappling with huge ecological challenges.
Against that backdrop, Atiku urged the senators not to relent but to fight further to ensure that the commission takes off and was well funded.
According to him, “the commission if well funded would go a long way in solving some of the infrastructural deficiencies being suffered by the people of the South East.”
He also called on all his support groups, political action groups, civil society organisations and the general public to an interactive session with him and his Vice Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, scheduled for today, in Aba.
