President Muhammadu Buhari has landed in Imo State to launch some projects of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
This is despite the warning by the separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to the president not to visit the South-Eastern state as well as well-wishers not to attend.
Buhari is scheduled to inaugurate the rebuilt state House of Assembly complex, the first phase of the Owerri-Okigwe Road, and the Owerri-Orlu Road.
