President Bola Tinubu and President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, are among eminent Nigerians who will grace the unveiling of Peace In the South East Project (PISE-P).

The Chairperson, Media and Communications Committee of PISE-P, Mary Ikoku, disclosed this in a statement, which was made available to newsmen in Umuahia, yesterday.

Ikoku described PISE-P as a non-partisan advocacy organisation working toward the restoration of peace in the South East through a non-kinetic approach.

She stated that the unveiling ceremony would coincide with the grand reception, organised in honour of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.

Ikoku also listed other prominent Nigerians that are expected at the event to include the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and members of both chambers of the National Assembly.

Others from the private sector are business magnates Aliko Dangote and Chief Arthur Eze, media moguls and politicians across party lines, amongst others.

The royal fathers of the day are the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, and Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, together with members of the Abia Council of Traditional Rulers.

Ikoku added that the event, being organised by PISE-P, in conjunction with the people of Bende Local Council, Kalu’s constituents, is slated to be held at the Sports Arena in the council’s headquarters.

She explained that the ceremony is organised to appreciate Kalu’s “unwavering commitment to public service and outstanding contributions to the people of the South East and nation in general.”
