President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the leaders of Southeast for their concerted efforts to advance developmental ideals, peacebuilding and robust democratic governance in the region.
Barrister Orji Uchenna Orji, the Special Adviser (Media) to the Minister of Works, Engr. Nweze David Umahi in a statement he issued in Abuja on Sunday, said Tinubu spoke during the burial ceremony of late Deaconess (Mrs.) Theresa Osinachi Omoke, the mother of his Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement, South East, Barrister (Mrs) Chioma Nweze in Ebonyi state.
Represented by Umahi, the president thanked the leaders and people of the South East for their support for his Renewed Hope administration.
“I want to send a message of thanks from Mr. President to the people of South East, for their support; I want to thank the Governors and appreciate them for their support, which is beyond party lines.
“In a very short moment, leaders of the Southeast East will come together to openly, publicly, and heartily appreciate Mr President, and let Nigerians and the world know that we stand with the Renewed Hope agenda of Mr President’’, he said.
He, however, described the deceased as a woman with exemplary virtues who made immeasurable contributions to the advancement of the cause of humanity and enjoined the entire Omoke family to take solace in the accomplishments of her age.
Tinubu also thanked the Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, for raising the bar in the peace and security of the state and for deepening the cause of development of the state and all who live in it.
In his address during the event, the Governor of Ebonyi State thanked the President for his fatherly disposition toward all the states of the federation and his inclusive governance, which has renewed the hope of Nigerians in actualising positive trajectories in the political and socio-economic history of the nation.
He offered his deep condolences to the deceased family and his compassion to the cause of the family and community who would deeply miss her love and charity.
“The state government will build a befitting pavilion in this field, and that pavilion will be named after the late mother of Barrister (Mrs) Chioma Nweze. The road leading to this field will be constructed as a mark of honour to late Deaconess (Mrs) Theresa Osinachi Omoke JP”, he said.
