Buhari’s visit to C-River: BSG, IMSA rally support for grand reception

As President Muhammadu Buhari visits Cross River State today, the Akwa Ibom State chapter of Buhari Support Group, BSG, in conjunction with Ibom Mega Synergy Assembly, IMSA, have urged all supporters of change in the state and the entire South-South geopolitical zone to besiege Calabar to give the president a rousing reception.
President Buhari is expected in Cross River State to perform the ground-breaking of the Super Highway project initiated by Governor Ben Ayade.
A statement jointly signed by the South-South Coordinator of IMSA, Mr. Ubong Sam and his BSG counterpart in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Dominic Akpan, said the President’s visit to Calabar was akin to a visit to the entire South-South zone.
According to the statement:  “We are indeed elated by this visit which will avail the President another opportunity to look into the challenges of physical infrastructure including the poor condition of federal roads in the zone as well as the problem of unemployment facing over 80 percent of the youths population. We are also happy that the President’s visit will help to reinvigorate the confidence   of the people of the South-South in this administration in terms of what he had programmed originally on his agenda for this zone.”
