President Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

President Mohammadu Buhari, under tight security, on Thursday visited Imo State, which is seen as the hub of the pro-Biafra group, IPOB\u2019s operations in Nigeria\u2019s South-east.
The agitation for the independent republic for Biafra has led to killings and destruction in the South-east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Buhari, who is on a one-day working visit to Imo to commission projects executed by Governor Hope Uzodinma\u2019s administration, talked about the importance of security, as well as infrastructure, in the lives of the people.
\u201cIf there are no roads, if there is no security, what can people do? Definitely nothing,\u201d Mr Buhari said in his brief address in Owerri, the state capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gave a thumbs up to Governor Uzodinma on his administration\u2019s effort to develop the state.
The president commissioned a polytechnic, a road project and flood Control tunnel and a new executive chamber<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing is believing\u201d, the president said of the projects in the state.
\u201cI accepted the invitation to come and see what the governor wanted me to see, and I have seen enough which certifies his integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very impressed with what he has done because I have gone through the same problem at the centre to make sure that infrastructure is what would enable the people to man their own businesses. I am very pleased with what I have seen,\u201d Mr Buhari said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from Governor Uzodinma, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, and All Progressives Congress candidate for the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra, Andy Uba, were among those who received President Buhari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president is expected to hold a town hall meeting with leaders of the South-east before his departure to Abuja later today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
