Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and ex-Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku are expected in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on Friday at a reception for National Assembly leaders and Federal Executive Council members from the Southeast/ Southsouth.
The reception is organised by the Southeast/Southsouth Professionals of Nigeria (SESS-PN).
Governor Rochas Okorocha will host the event.
A statement by the President of the group, Mr Emeka Ugwu-oju, said: “The reception is consistent with the group’s advocacy for good governance …”
“As our frontliners, this is more of an interaction with persons, who earned the confidences of our President, and members of the National Assembly …
“So having been selected, screened, appointed and now settled, we say well-done and possibly hear them tell us how far…”
Celebrated agriculturist Fr. Godfrey Nzamujo of Songhai Farms in Republic of Benin will be guest speaker. The leadership of the National Assembly and the governors of 11 states are expected to attend.
