The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan on Sunday, 14th March, 2021 urged the Southeast to move to the centre of the nation’s politics.
He spoke in Owerri on Sunday at the state capital, during a thanksgiving service to commemorate Uzodimma’s first anniversary as governor.
Lawan said: “Let me say the presence of the Vice President, representing the President, and all the governors here is a very clear testimony of his (government’s) relationship with the centre of Nigeria.
“He doesn’t waste time looking for an opportunity like this and the result is what you see.
“He has done so much in one year because he does not play his politics only in the Southeast.
“He has taken his politics to the centre as well and I will take this opportunity to appeal to our people in the Southeast: grab the opportunity to be at the centre of Nigerian politics.
Also at the church service were Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, Deputy Speaker Ahmed Idris; Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi) and Mai Mala Buni (Yobe).
