TABUK – Several chiefs, notables and members of Huwaitat tribe in the northern Tabuk region have renewed their pledge of allegiance, loyalty and full obedience to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, vowing that they will stand united behind their wise leadership. They said that the $500 billion integrated smart city will bring in prosperity to the northwestern region of Saudi Arabia with more education, development and jobs for the local people.

On behalf of all members of Huwaitat tribe, its chief Sheikh Aoun Abu Taqeeqah renewed loyalty and obedience to the King and the Crown Prince, saying: “We stand in one row behind our wise leadership, and we thank King Salman for the NEOM project, which was launched by the Crown Prince in the NEOM region to serve our children.” He highlighted the positive impact of the giant project on the development of both humans and the region.

Suwairi Al-Huwaiti, another member of the tribe, stressed that the NEOM will be a pioneering development project in the region and will be much more beneficial for their children in pursuing higher studies and getting jobs. “We earnestly supplicate to God to continue blessing this country with security and safety that we live under our wise leadership,” he said while reaffirming his loyalty to the leadership.

For his part, Sheikh Salem Al-Huwaiti praised the giant projects and upcoming developments being witnessed in NEOM and AMAALA emphasizing that they brought about glad tidings to the region. “From the time of our our ancestors until now, people of Huwaitat have always been with the leadership, and they never deviated from their pledge of loyalty to the Saud family,” he said while rebuffing the criticism from envious people from outside.

Ahmed Al-Huwaiti, another tribesman, said: “We have immense pride in our wise government for bringing these global projects into our region. No one from our Huwaitat tribe did and will question their loyalty to their government,” he said while recalling that members of the tribe include those who fight on the front line and those who pursue their higher studies abroad.

Sheikh Eid Al-Huwaiti, sheikh of Al-Bassa clan from Huwaitat tribe, said: “Praise be to God for the good projects that are coming to our region, and our country and our leaders always strive to achieve development and progress. Life will change for the better, and the state was and is still bringing in what is good for its children.”

On his part, Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Huwaiti welcomed the dream projects of massive size, saying that this will bring about huge benefits to the region and its people. “These projects are mainly aimed at ensuring the welfare and comfort of Saudi citizens,” he added.
