Newscenter Media News A former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe, has described President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Enugu State as a game changer.
The president paid a one-day visit to Enugu State on Saturday and commissioned some projects initiated by Governor Peter Mbah’s administration.
Tinubu’s visit to the South-East state was the first by a sitting president in 10 years.
Okupe, who was the Director-General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 presidential election, in a statement on Sunday, said with the official visit to the state, Tinubu has demonstrated that he is a fair-minded president who has shown that the South-East deserves attention and support from the Federal Government.
He said: “The visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Enugu on Saturday is a major game changer.

“Any objective observer can easily discern President Tinubu’s open-heartedness and unrestrained affection for the South-East.
“He (Tinubu) spoke openly and candidly from his heart and made significant commitments for support for developmental projects in the South-East.
“Without any iota of doubt, the age-long mantra, which was very dear to the late Igbo leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, that ‘the absence of an east-west political alliance is a potential existential threat to the unity and stability of Nigeria, is an all-time truism.
“I will personally urge Mr. President, while working tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of the masses, to continue to build bridges across the nation for our political stability and peaceful coexistence.”
