“It is a pleasure for me and my wife to be here in Ebonyi State today. I am pleased, each time I see the quality and magnitude of Governor Umahi’s projects in Ebonyi State.
“I thank God for bringing him at this time, the kind of projects I see in Ebonyi I don’t see elsewhere, especially in the South-East zone.
“Sometimes, I ask where does he he get the money, Umahi is a prudent manager of resources.”
Earlier, Gov. Umahi explained that the Iyere Flyover was named after the former president for his role in the enthronement of the present administration in the state.
“Let me explain to Edda people that this is the President that God used to bring us to power so we have to be eternally thankful to him and that is why we have named this flyover after him, we chose this flyover because it was tasking building it.
“There is nothing the heart of a man is set to achieve that he cannot achieve. I was driven by my love for Edda people and the people of Ebonyi State,” the governor said.
Goodluck Jonathan and his wife arrived the state via the Ebonyi International Airport, Onueke.
