The president arrived at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu State yesterday before he proceeded to Ebonyi State where he pledged that his administration will urgently address the infrastructural challenges confronting the region that's recently shown discontent towards him in the past few months.

While speaking in Abakaliki on Tuesday, the president said the unity of the country is important and hailed the impact of the Igbo in the economic development of Nigeria.

He said, "My presence here today is a demonstration of our strong belief in the unity of Nigeria. As the most populous country in Africa, with over 300 ethnic groups, our diversity is almost unique among nations.

"The people of the South East are known for their ingenuity, industrial and commercial talent. There is no part of Nigeria where you will not find Igbo entrepreneurs, both men and women, contributing to the development of their adopted communities.

"So I am asking you all not to buy into the senseless propaganda on secession. Igbo is Nigeria and Nigeria is Igbo. Both are inseparable.

"We must therefore continue to commit ourselves to the development of Nigeria. A Nigeria where we sustain our national unity without compromising on our cultural identities. A Nigeria where the aspirations of its people is guaranteed without prejudice to tribe or religion. A Nigeria, where we can sleep at night knowing that tomorrow will be better than today."
