Several residents of Imo state have besieged the Sam Mbakwe airport to receive President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday.
The President is set to commission several projects by state governor, Hope Uzodinma.
The President’s visit has elicited great jubilation from the people of the state. It can be recalled that a group, Igbo youths worldwide vowed to troop out en mass to welcome the president to the state.
This was made known in a statement signed by Onwuasoanya Jones Deputy National Leader Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Youth Wing on Wednesday. The President’s visit to Imo is his first working visit to the State since taking office in 2015 and the first time the State is hosting a President on working visit since 2009.
Onwuasoanya warned that anyone trying to harass those who wish to participate to welcome the President to Imo state would be treated as invaders and not someone representing the Igbo interest.
