Buhari Arrives Enugu Enroute Ebonyi

The president, who arrived Enugu around 10:30 pm on Thursday, May 5, was received by the governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and his Ebonyi counterpart, David Umahi, and other government officials at the airport.

Buhari is on a two-day working visit to Ebonyi State where he is expected to commission numerous projects executed by the Umahi administration.

He is also billed to have a meeting with selected leaders from the Southeast.

Though the agenda for the meeting was disclosed, it is expected that the security concerns in the region and the detention of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu will be top on the topics for discussion.
