Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said the South-East is no longer marginalised but now enjoys a greater sense of belonging in the affairs of the country.
Idris made the assertion on Friday while responding to questions during a press conference in Umuahia, Abia State, on the heels of the maiden South East regional security summit held on Thursday in the capital city.
He urged Ndigbo to discard the belief that they are being sidelined, arguing that even if such perceptions existed in the past, they no longer apply under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
He cited ongoing road and infrastructure projects across the zone, as well as the appointment of former Ebonyi State Governor, Senator Dave Umahi, to the strategic position of Minister of Works, as evidence that the South-East is no longer being relegated.
