PRESIDENT TINUBU IS INTENTIONALLY REBUILDING THE SOUTH EAST
I can’t contain my joy and that of my people regarding the great news from DIKESIMBA Anambra; DIKESIMBA NDIGBO, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR!
Certainly, President Tinubu has a date with history, and even more so with the Southeast. He continues to demonstrate his avowed commitment to orchestrating the reconstruction of the Southeast, thereby finally healing the wounds of the Civil War. There are several unprecedented, foundational infrastructural rebirths going on in the Southeast at the moment. We will celebrate the full list later….
But the news from him today is history in itself. I met the President on Wednesday, July 1. The next day, the Hon. Minister for Works and Infrastructure (our own ever-productive and beloved Sen. Dave Umahi) contacted me to send him the details of the roads we had repeatedly discussed. On Friday, July 3rd, I sent him the following two roads:
1. Otuocha–Anam–Abaji (Kogi), about 108km to be dualized; and
2. Oba–Nnewi–Uga–Ihube (Okigwe Junction), connecting Anambra/Imo to the Enugu–PH Road, which also passes through Abia, about 150km to be dualized.
Today, 15th July, I received a message from the Min. of Works that the President has graciously approved both roads for “design and procurement”! What can I say? These two roads constitute critical game-changers for the Southeast, South-South and North Central. The man who tamed the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos is certainly redefining politics, and the Southeast won’t be the same again! For me personally, this is why politics makes sense to me: working collaboratively and building alliances to achieve concrete results that improve the lives of the people.
Thank you, ASIWAJU! History will be kind to you!!
@biolakazeem Isn’t that why you said it’s politically risky in the first tweet? That’s the courage we’re talking about, we don’t want someone who chickens out under pressure
@Nwa_Anambra_ Any region that isolates itself from the polity of the nation only gets what comes to it. This world is a table, you have to be able to negotiate to get what you really want. You’re doing all this because of your candidate but you should put the interest of the region first
@Nwa_Anambra_ Believe me, no administration has shown signs that they will make the list happen more than this one. You speak as though you have leverage to bargain with and yet you’re against those who understand that the region needs to be in an alliance for prosperity.
The generation of our founding fathers secured independence.
The generation of June 12 secured democracy.
Our generation must secure economic prosperity.
Happy democracy day, Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️
I am honoured to succeed Senator Udoma as Chairman in January 2027 and to lead the Board through @SeplatEnergy ’s next phase of growth.
I firmly believe in the critical role indigenous resources play in the economic transformation of Nigeria and Africa, and Seplat’s culture of execution and governance aligns strongly with my own values.
I thank Senator Udoma and Roger for their stewardship and look forward to delivering further value for shareholders.
I also congratulate Mr. Okon on his appointment as Chief Executive Officer.
His deep industry experience gives me great confidence that @SeplatEnergy is well positioned for its next chapter of growth.

The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.
What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.
@izuchukwu10 What’s this? I thought you were talking about Obi having a plan for the state’s development (a clear long-term vision) that Obiano deviated from. Because if he had presented such a blueprint successive governors would have followed it and Anambra would have achieved so much more
@Ofochebe@FinPlanKaluAja1 I remember when he was telling Nigerians to keep their dollars, hoping that the FX liberalization would fail; now he’s writing articles about how stable the Naira is. The same will happen with Anambra’s economic pathway under Soludo. It’s just time. He’s pleasing the mobs.
@officialABAT@NGRPresident Fiscal reforms - checked✅
Economic reforms - checked✅
Infrastructure- checked✅
Security - more⚠️
Power - more⚠️
Reasonable ones know you won’t do magic to fix decades-long decay of our country Mr President, we demand more in critical areas. Thank you. May Nigeria succeed.
