The 2015 Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Abia State, Chief Nyerere Anyim, has dismissed the statement in many quarters that the present Buhari Government has continued to marginalized the South-East geopolitical zone.
Anyim who made this known in an interview with newsmen on Sunday, said that the welfare of the South Easterners was now better protected under the present President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration in the last four years than the sixteen years of PDP inglorious rule that almost ruined the nation’s economy.
He stated that under Buhari administration, the second Niger bridge has received attention, the Enugu/Port Harcourt expressway and Enugu/Onitsha road receiving a new touch.

“Under PDP, the Igbo had the coordinating minister for finance, we had the Chief of Army Staff, we had the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
“At one time, we had the Senate President of this country and the Speaker of House of Representatives but what did that translate to the Igbo nation? What was the impact of these big names.
“The Enugu/Port Harcourt road became a death trap. The Enugu/Onitsha road was more or less a farmland at the express road, the second Niger bridge was a mirage, in terms of infrastructural development, we were totally forgotten when our brothers and sisters were occupying sensitive positions”.
He added that in Aba, the commercial nerve centre of Abia State, President Buhari has boosted industrialization by constructing a power station in Ariaria international market to give them constant power supply and other interventions the federal government has made to give the region a sense of belonging.
