Former Director-General of Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe has said Saturday’s official visit of President Bola Tinubu to Enugu State is a “game changer”.
He made this known in a statement he made available to journalists on Sunday in Lagos.
TheNiche had early reported that the incumbent president embarked on a state visit to Enugu State and inaugurated some projects executed by the state governor, Peter Mbah.
The projects commissioned include 30 smart green schools, 60 completed type 2 primary health centres, and the 19-kilometre Airport-New Haven–Bisalla and Okpara Square roads.
During the parley, President Tinubu told the South-East stakeholders that the removal of petrol subsidy was necessary to build the nation and protect the interests of future generations.

Speaking on the visit, Okupe 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 very significant commitments for support for developmental projects in the south east.”
The ex-presidential spokesman, added that without any equivocation, the South-East deserved the attention and support of any fair-minded President
According to him, any Nigerian of goodwill would commend Tinubu’s genuine good gestures to 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,” Okupe added.
