Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu said President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the establishment of an agency on robotics and artificial intelligence(AI) for the South East.


Onu revealed this Saturday at a grand rally of the All Progressives Congress in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi state. The rally which received defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party, was attended by the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.


Some of the defectors who were received include, Senator Sonni Ogbuoji, former Minister of Power and Steel, Chief Godwin Ogbaga, Secretary to the State Government, Professor Bernard Odoh and former attorney-general, Chief Augustine Nwankwegu.


Onu told the rally that in 2015 he pleaded with South-East not to put its eggs in one basket but his pleadings fell on deaf ears.



“In 2015 I pleaded with the zone not to put our eggs in one basket. Today I want them to compare the 16 years of PDP and relate it with just 3 years of APC.



“The three years of APC is greater than the 16 years of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP); the second Niger bridge is nearing completion, the Enugu – Port-Harcourt and Enugu – Onitsha highways are in various levels of completion,” he said.



“The time has come for the South East to be in the mainstream of Nigerian politics by voting for President Buhari and APC in 2019”.


APC chairman Adams Oshiomhole said that the current security challenge in the country was devoid of religious or ethnic colouration.


Oshiomhole therefore urged Nigerians not to allow themselves to be deceived by the antics of selfish politicians in the country who are trying to give the security challenges in the country an ethnic colouration to score cheap political points.


According to Oshiomhole, there is a plot to paint the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in bad light by portraying all the killings in some states in the country as the handiwork of herdsmen.



“Let me urge you to be more careful because in this season people are spreading untruth. People are being hired to turn the gospel upside down. They want us to believe that every problem should be explained in ethnic and religious terms.



“We have a problem and we must confront those problems. Criminals must be dealt with individually as criminals. Government at all levels must work hard to protect every Nigerian regardless of tribe or religion, ” he said.


He said Buhari and the security agencies are working hard to put an end to the security challenges facing the country.

I do not expect to see alot of views here, I mean, when PMB does good nobody comes to accord him his accolades, what we see are people giving a blind eye to it, but when they say Akpabio is about to defect, people en mass will come running to various media platforms to blast the president. Oh-well, this is a worthy investment of the people's money, investment in technology is investment in the future, development and posterity of Nigeria

if buhari builds a refinery or open a sea port in the east will he die? what is so good about AI ? how has AI benefited even the most advanced of countries? this is nonsense. if this was done in addition to something reasonable it would make a whole lot of sense.

This agency for the SE what exactly does it mean? Is it that it will be built in the SE and employ only Easterners or what? What are the details really?

If he likes let him relocate the capital of Nigeria to South East, he won't still get the normal 2% vote from them.

now there is positive development done by the government no one has at least thought to commend the development... All i see is negative comments here...Nigerians the government is not just the problem, the people of this country are also a problem, lets drop the negativity and be positive and credit to whom its due. Good Job Mr President
