Exclusion Of The South East From The Railway Masterplan by INTROVERT(f): 6:28pm On May 17, 2017
ABARIBE SPITS FIRE IN THE SENATE.

It was a charged atmosphere today in the Senate during the consideration of the request sent in by President Buhari to borrow 5.8 Billion Dollars from the China Exim Bank to finance some critical railway projects across the country.

When proceedings started, a visibly angry Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (PDP ABIA) in his motion, drew the attention of the Senate to the fact that from the document before them which outlined the projects to be financed with the loan, no single rail project in the entire South East was included.

The Senator wondered why a whole region will be excluded from such key development while every other region benefited.
Senator Abaribe who is the Chairman of the South East Senate Caucus described the situation as unfortunate and a deliberate attempt to frustrate development in the South East calling on the Senate to roundly reject the request for the loan until the anomaly is corrected and the South East included.

Senator Gbenga Ashafa (APC LAGOS) countered Abaribe and said that since government is a continuum, the South East should be patient and wait for another time. This sparked a heavy row in the Senate as majority of the Senators shouted down their Lagos colleague.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki agreed with Abaribe and stated that it was wrong to exclude any region from such heavy project. He pledged to lead a delegation of the Senate Leadership to meet with Presidency officials to sort out the issue.

In the meantime, consideration of the loan has been stood down while the Senate agreed with Abaribe to summon Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi to come and provide explanations for this mischievous exclusion.

Yet again, Abaribe has risen in defense of our people.

Most Distinguished Senator,

Man of Courage...

Ala Asaala.

Some bloody fools will ask why Ndigbo want out of the cesspit called Nigeria. Anything short of total disintegration of the colonial contraption called Nigeria is waste of time and energy.

Yes I am angry the south east was excluded
And I complained when Jonathan did it

Did we just realise this now ??

We all adopted Jonathan ..this was his deal not buhari ..buhari only renegotiated the cost

There is an Eastern line that passes from port Harcourt to meduguri ...there is a proposed rail from ajokuta to onne through aba ..

Allow the project but seek for a compensation that's the best ..

SE is not excluded from Nigeria's railway masterplan if anyone has actually seen the map.

They are even planning to link up Abakaliki, can you imagine.

Re: Exclusion Of The South East From The Railway Masterplan by Christistruth00: 1:14am On May 18, 2017
Actually Aba,Asaba,Onitsha and Agbor are included, but I think it would have been better to construct two branches ,A little Like the northern line in London .The first branch will be Calabar to Benin via port harcourt and warri onward to Lagos and the second would be calabar to Benin. Via the Southeast heartland taking in towns like Ikot Ekpene umuahia,Owerri,Orlu,Awka ,Onitsha Asaba to Benin then on to Lagos,or the branch line can alternatively start at Aba through Umuahia,Owerri,Orlu Awka Onitsha Asaba Benin then onwards to Lagos instead of the back loop through Igbanke which is only a few minutes drive to Agbor.
The Railway station buildings do not need to be elaborate as long as the track runs through and the trains stop there.

Your brothers are clearly allergic to admitting that Azikiwe Jonathan thoroughly failed the South East but I salute your courage and sincerity in identifying and admitting the root cause of the exclusion.
