It either the government is asleep or they don't exist as the nonchalant attitude is been exhibited towards the ongoing strike action embarked upon by the petroleum tanker drivers of NUPENG. Activities in Rivers state is almost at a halt and the FG is silent. According to tanker drivers they embarked on the strike to pressure the authorities to fix deplorable roads that leads to the oil and gas zone of Portharcourt. The road which is a part of the East west road is a confirmed death trap. A lot of tankers and container truck fall daily basis on the road killing innocent Nigerians. One wonders why the FG will leave such an important road to be dilapidated to that level despite being the base of our oil industry. Going back to the strike, we citizens of Portharcourt are suffering and wish to appeal to the tanker drivers to go back to work find way to reach ASO rock to register their problems which is also our problem.

With all the allocation to that state why can't the governor fix the road and get his money later?? Instead he is wasting money sum raiil tracks that won't be completed until perhaps 2030.

This road would not be like this if the FG allowed Amaechi to do what you suggested but the FG threatened fire and brimstone when the governor mentioned such. In fact that was the ge. nesis of the public confrontation of GEJ and Amaechi. People then accused Amaechi of insulting the president and may be you are one of them.

Well don't knw much about amaechi GEJ. Feud. But why would someone start a fight he can't win??
