President Goodluck Jonathan has promised
to go on exile if he fails to build the Second
Niger Bridge before completing his term in
2015.
The Nigerian leader made the promise in his
remarks at a Town Hall Meeting held
yesterday in the commercial city of Onitsha
as part of activities marking his one-day visit
to Anambra State. During the visit, Jonathan
commissioned several projects, including
the oil production facilities of Orient
Petroleum at Aguleri, the massive SABMiller
Brewery at Onitsha and the Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu-Ojukwu Gateway in Onitsha.
The issue of Second Niger Bridge naturally
came up during the Town Hall Meeting since
Jonathan had during his campaigns for the
2011 presidential ballot promised to
construct the bridge if elected President.
Experts have warned that the existing
bridge constructed in 1965 may collapse
any time in view of the heavy traffic.
Speaking yesterday at the Town Hall
Meeting, the Nigerian leader said that “when
the first bridge was built, it was during the
presidency of Nnamdi Azikiwe; the second
Niger bridge will be built under the
presidency of Azikiwe Jonathan.” To further
reassure the people, the President said he
would go on exile on the completion of his
term if he does not build the bridge.
To convince his audience that serious
efforts are being made to build the bridge,
invited Works Minister Mike Onolomemen
and Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo
Iweala to brief the people on what was
being done about the construction of the
bridge. Onolomemen reeled out the
technical details about the design of the
bridge and the companies bidding to
construct it, while Okonjo-Iweala unfolded
details about the financial arrangements
being made to construct the bridge.
At the end of the meeting, some of the
participants, among them businessman
Prince Arthur Eze were so thrilled that they
urged President Jonathan to seriously
consider seeking re-election in 2015.

Gej has been scaming by eastern folks 4 long

“if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. 4 years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I
cannot do anything even if I am there for the next 4 years.” Jonathan said this while interacting with diplomats of the UN Economic Commission for Africa

GOODLUCK JONATHAN, PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES, AGBERO PEOPLES CONGRESS AKA DEVILS PARTY STOP YOUR USELESS PROPANGANDA , IT WOULD TAKE YOU NO WHERE.

What exactly holding his hand from performing very well is a big question.

So far his performance is bad.

What he supposed to have done was to borrow some couples of billions of dollars (20 billions or more) just to execute some monumental projects.

Provide evidence of the 'massive construction' please.

Jonathan better bow out with his head held high. If he contest and loss, he will be useless. Nobody will come close him, even Asari will be commanding him up and down.

Corruption will be voted out.

Bros, not even a single Pillar has been erected. The project is a tool used in aiming 99.9% fraudulent voters turnout in Aligbo. When last did you follow Enugu-Onitsha highway. At 9th Mile, both lanes are unusable.

@egift, forget Jonathan and his minders abeg. Just get past Umunya on your way to Enugu and you're in for hell, getting worse everyday. Most transporters going to Enugu now go through Onitsha-Enugu old road. Just imagine.

Yes. An that road is narrow and bendy. While returning from from Akwa, I had to follow that one. And I believe 5 yrs is more than enough to have fixed that road. Even the part done in the Onitsha end is being done by the State. And we all know how hard it is to retrieve these funds when the work is done.

May God help us all.

Fact and all they do is come spew trash here as if everyone is blind to what's on ground. Not 5 years mind you, 2 years vice president, 2years acting, almost 4 years as president and nothing to show for it.

thought the news was already stale

Give ur lies to d ibos that wld cheaply fall for it, not us- we wont fall it anymore.
Who believes this coy anyway...

Just watching

The the Scheme is that we Forget? Is that the plan? We will not. Time for Jonathan to go to exile as he promised.

The Federal Government has fully paid its counterpart funding for construction of 2nd Niger Bridge - Fact

Moreover, I can't remember any development commissioned by Buhari in the South East than his contribution to bombing it to stone age.

Where in the South East did Buhari remember during his PTF massive projects?

Does Buhari regard Igbos as Nigerians?

Buhari has been

1. Minister for Petroleum in OBJ government

2. Head of State

3. PTDF Chairman under Abacha

You want Buhari to kill us as he supervised the killing on his unarmed colleague (our brother)

The man Buhari is always on a vindictive mission as in 1983 - 1985 and should never be allowed near Aso Rock as there is no comparison between the religious bigot and Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan.

Not only that, early works has been done and payment of compensation was just concluded.

Bro your attack on any thread that contains GEJ always disgust me, I'm not pro jonathan, you're full of hate, i wonder how you sleep with so much hatred in you, I don't know if your El rufai, any thing God propose you and I can do noting, if God says GEJ will win, you can do nothing, so please save your life and worry less about the man that dosen't even know you exist, your writing rubbuish about the projects in east what do you know? Niger cat is working on Enugu side same with IDC and CCC in Anambra, have you been to the site where they are constructing the second niger bridge? Your ranting on nairaland every day can change our minds, trying to repackage the muslem fanatics Buhari won't work, if you claim GEJ is corrupt how about Tinubu, Fashola, Buhari, Atiku, Amechi etc they are all saint? Stop deceiving yourself.
