Assuring South East leaders of his plan to visit the region, President Muhammadu Buhari has said he has clear conscience for the nation.

Buhari who hosted leaders from the region on Friday in Abuja assured the stakeholders that the region would benefit more from roads and coastal rail projects to boost the nation’s economy.

He told leaders led by Deputy President of the Senate, Mr Ike Ekweremadu, that 2nd Niger Bridge, East-West road and the Coastal Rail project were receiving utmost attention from his administration.

The President said that counterpart funding from the Chinese government would substantially fund the projects, which when completed, would improve the welfare, well-being and economy of the region.

“I know the Chinese are very competent in handling such projects and we will ensure that we get the money for the projects to take off.

“I thank you for articulating your demands and I want to assure that we are doing our best for the country.

“If we can stop people from stealing, then there will be more resources to put into projects that will create employment for Nigerians,’’ he said.

On allegations of under-representation of Igbos in his government, Buhari said: “ I gave South-East four substantive ministers in the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Investment, Science and Technology, and Labour.

“Seven states in the North got Ministers of State and of the two ministries headed by your sons, I cannot take any decision on foreign policy and investments without their input.’’

He also promised the leaders, comprising governors and ministers from the region, President of Ohaneze, Chief Nnia Nwodo and representatives from the National Assembly, that he would visit states in the zone soon.

“I want to assure you that I came into government with a clear conscience and I will also leave with a clear conscience,’’ he said.
