The Indigbo Will Continue To Support President Jonathan - Umeh

The Indigbo will continue to support president Jonathan - Umeh
For a people that have lost so much over the years, it will be very difficult for them to really see that they are making improvement in their lives. Under Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency, the Igbos have received a new lease of life.
For instance, the Enugu airport is now an international airport so much that you can fly to any part of the world from there. It wasn’t like that in the past. It will not be nice for us to take for granted remarkable improvements that we have recorded under President Jonathan’s administration. The Enugu international airport is an important achievement for Ndigbo. We longer travel to Port Harcourt, Lagos or Abuja to travel out of the country.
We are able to fly out of the country from Enugu. It is a major development. If we look at the challenges, we will marvel. The cost of transit movement put together runs into several millions. Then, you will know that president Jonathan has really tried.
The second Niger bridge that you spoke about, the government has taken steps. We have gone there to flag off the construction but the issue of funding requires further management assessment to give the project its full light.
That project is still on. Last December, the Enugu/Onitsha expressway got approval of over 20 billion Naira. If you go there now, the construction is in its advanced stage. If people do not get their dividends under other administrations, under Jonathan, it is different. It was a policy of the previous administration that the Igbo will never get an international airport. -
