President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed strong satisfaction with the progress of work of the South East Development Commission (SEDC) in the past 100 days, and charged the commission to “fast-track execution and deliver impact.”

President Tinubu expressed his satisfaction with the commission when the SEDC Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Okoye II, briefed him on the 100-day report of the SEDC.
“Earlier today, I had the honour of briefing His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the 100-day report of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).

“Mr. President expressed strong satisfaction with our progress — from our bold vision to catalyze a $200B regional economy through collaboration with state governments and the private sector, to our #RenewedHope programs and strategy to align SEDC’s efforts with the aspirations of the South East,” Okoye said after he met with the President at the Presidential Villa Abuja.

Noting that for students of history, this moment was deeply significant, Okoye said “Since the end of the civil war in 1970, no Nigerian President — military or civilian — had granted the South East’s longstanding request for a development commission focused on reconstruction and rehabilitation. Mr. President broke that 54-year jinx. Thank you, Boss.”

He said: “Mr. President’s charge to me was clear: fast-track execution and deliver impact.”
The SEDC, covering Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo states, was officially established on July 24, 2024, when President Tinubu signed its bill into law, marking a historic milestone for the region.

It has as its mission, “to drive sustainable development, economic growth, and unity in the South East through strategic investments and empowerment initiatives.” The commission’s vision is to position the South East as the preferred investment destination in Africa by 2035.

Its board was inaugurated on February 12, 2025, signaling the beginning of operations aimed at addressing decades of post-war neglect and fostering regional growth.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Unfortunately for you, the president does not need a single vote from the SE to win the next election.

That region has zero electoral value.
