President Bola Tinubu has again called for unity in the country and believes Nigeria can only make progress when citizens work for the advancement of the nation, irrespective of their differences.
In his first trip to the South-East state since assuming office in May 2023, President Tinubu believes Nigeria’s diversity, with over 250 ethnic groups, should propel the country into prosperity.
Tinubu landed at the Chinua Achebe International Airport, Umueri, Anambra State, around noon and was welcomed by an entourage that included Soludo, his Deputy Onyekachukwu Ibezim, members of the Anambra State House of Assembly, and other bigwigs in the state.
Wearing the traditional Igbo Akwete attire, President Tinubu was accompanied by his National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; governors Hope Uzodimma of Imo and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State; Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah; Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, and other dignitaries.
Some of the projects President Tinubu unveiled include the new Anambra State Government House; he also commissioned the Emeka Anyaoku Institute for International Studies and Diplomacy, located within Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and the Solution Fun City in the state.
As a mark of honour and appreciation for President Tinubu, traditional rulers in Anambra State bestowed the traditional title of “Dike si Mba,” which means “Hero from Another Land”.
The Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Chidubem Iweka conferred Tinubu with the title at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka.
At the Square, Governor Soludo expressed support for President Bola Tinubu, hailing him for his reforms and love for Anambra state.
Soludo, who is of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), a party different from that of President Tinubu, said he will give the administration full backing.
