Speaking with Journalist in Abakaliki, Barr. Nwebonyi explained that PDP, despite being an opposition Party at the Centre, was still at liberty to pin-point areas where the Federal Government has performed creditably well.
On the proposed sack of Service Chiefs by the Senate, the PDP Chairman explained that the decision remains the constitutional responsibility of the President.
He said: “We want to appreciate Mr. President for his good works in the South East geopolitical zone. The ongoing construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge is a dream come true for the people of the region. Some persons were thinking that the project was not real but the case is different now. Once that project is completed, the zone will have so much to be grateful for.
“The reconstruction of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, is another notable project that the zone is happy about. The pace of work is worthy of commendation and the people of the region are pleased about it.
“The sack or resignation of the service chiefs remains the constitutional responsibility of the President. Whenever he decides otherwise, Nigerians will know. He should be allowed to do his job.”
