The Presidential Candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari has urged
Nigerians especially those in the South;
not to be deceived by President
Goodluck Jonathan.
Buhari spoke on Tuesday through the
Media Director of the APC campaign,
Mallam Garba Shehu, in Abuja.
He explained that it was important to
draw the attention of well-meaning
Nigerians to “the deceit, squander
mania and looting associated with this
administration.”
According to the campaign, the
administration has been unable to
deliver on its promise to construct the
East-West Road on which it has spent
and continues to spend billions of Naira.
He said, “It is on record that work
started on the road in 2006, under
former President Obasanjo but due to
the activities of Niger Delta militants
then, the work was stopped midway and
the initial contractor Julius Berger left
the site.
“In 2009, work was restarted on the
road, this time to be handled by 3
construction firms to hasten its
completion by 2011 as anticipated.
“It is pertinent to note that
appropriations were made for the
construction in 2009 and 2010, but after
Yar’Adua’s death, work stopped on the
road and money set aside was
diverted.”
Buhari also noted that the
administration was also trying to
deceive the people of the South East
over the Second Niger Bridge.
He said contrary to the strident efforts
of the Jonathan team to assure the
people of the South East that the
Second Niger Bridge has been awarded
and now under construction, the truth is
that the PDP administration is only
deceiving the people.
The Buhari campaign team recalled that
President Jonathan anchored his 2011
campaign in the South East on the
construction of the Second Niger Bridge,
but four years since then the bridge is
still at the drawing board table and may
not be realised under Jonathan.
Shehu alleged that the money set aside
for the project has since been
channelled into the Presidential election
of President Goodluck Jonathan.
“The main problem with the Second
Niger Bridge and which the Jonathan
administration has failed to respond to
is why public private partnership should
be adopted in constructing the bridge at
triple the real cost, whereas government
is in a position to bear the full cost,
more so as the project falls under the
social contract between the government
and the people.” Shehu said.
Buhari also identified corruption as the
bane of Nigeria’s development.
He also said the South East was
handed the rough edge of the stick in
the rehabilitation of the Enugu Airport
because the contract was taken from a
competent contractor and handed over
to certain individuals under the guise of
direct labour. These individuals he
pointed out did a substandard job.
He said to further demonstrate that
President Jonathan has serially failed
the South East; it is on record that late
President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had
commenced and indeed reached an
advanced stage in the dredging of River
Niger, and construction of Onitsha
seaport.
Regrettably this was again truncated by
Jonathan as till today, the seaport
which is expected to promote economic
development in the region and beyond is
yet to take off and the dredging
stopped.
Shehu maintained that corruption is the
major hindrance to our National
Development, and General Buhari with a
sterling record of fighting corruption will
spare no effort in ensuring that
Nigerians have value for their
commonwealth.
Reacting to these allegations, the
Deputy Publicity Secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji
Abdullah Jalo dismissed claims made
by the APC campaign.
He explained that the opposition has
become desperate and would stop at
nothing to discredit the PDP.
Jalo said, “We have become
accustomed to baseless allegations by
the opposition. The thing with our
opposition party is that they refuse to
see the good work of this administration
all over the country.
“Nigerians all over can testify that the
PDP remains the party of choice all
over, including the South East, so they
are trying to see if they can reduce our
influence.”
It will be recalled that APC has
dismissed the myth that Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) would spend
only one term in the office if he wins the
presidential poll on March 28th.

Dear Pa Buhari,

I am tired of hearing and reading well articulated speeches by your proxies.

I want to hear you debate or grant an open question and answer session to better judge your mental alertness and intellectual prowess myself.

Best Regards,

A Concerned Nigerian
