The Chairman, Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, His Royal Majesty, Eze Samuel Ohiri, on Saturday described the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, as one of the best vice presidents Nigeria ever had.
Ohiri expressed this view while receiving Osinbajo at his palace in Owerri where the vice president also had a town hall meeting.
He said that the vice president had creditably acquitted himself in the way he piloted the affairs of the country any time President Muhammadu Buhari was not in the country.
“I want to thank you, especially for the way you held forth for Mr. President the last time he stepped out of the country.
“The way you conducted the affairs of the country; people are talking about you in the world.
“Unarguably, you are one the best vice presidents we have ever had.
“We are proud of you,’’ he said
In his remark, Gov. Rocha’s Okorocha of Imo expressed appreciation to Osinbajo for honoring him by visiting the state on a day the governor was marking his birthday despite the vice president’s busy schedule.
He said that the state government had initiated a ‘one community one project’ programme aimed at taking governance to the grassroots.
Okorocha said that the programme was in consonance with the various economic empowerment programmes of the Federal Government.
“I wish you will be here on Monday; I had planned for you to hand over the first cheque of our one community one project – a partnership between the communities and the state government to set one small-scale industry in every community.
“So, we are looking at in the next six months, to build about 645 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
“Imo State Government will give 40 per cent of the take off fund which is 4 million; to all the 645 communities which is 4 million and their cheques will be released starting from Monday with the release of the Paris Club. Some are into farms, poultry, and snail farming among others
“Your Excellency, I know with your economic empowerment projects, these communities will benefit,’’ he said
Responding, Osinbajo thanked Imo traditional rulers, the governor and Imo State people in general for their usual hospitality.
