Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo visit to Calabar
the Cross River State capital, yesterday brought to
a
halt human and vehicular movements for several
hours as security operatives shut down the major
routes in the capital city. Besides, this
development
also grounded business activities following the
blockade of roads to markets and other business
centers. Also, journalists who left their homes to
cover the event as early as 8:00am, could not get
to
the venue even at 11: am as roads were blocked.
This was as some press men who arrived the
venue late were denied access to the hall to cover
the event by security men at the entrance. Some
business operators, who spoke with our reporter
lamented that it was a wasted day as they lost
several thousands of naira from roads blockade.
They said it was a strange development as they
have never witness such scenario were a vice
president's visit will terminate activities of the
residents. One of them, Asuquo Akanimoh, who
owns a shop at the watt market said, "i left my
house at eight miles to my shop only to spent six
hours on the road, even when i got to my shop the
entire place was dull because customers could not
have access to the roads due to the markets, as i
speak with you i have not sold even a pant which
is
very bad.
I pay taxes and rent and everyday i my business
counts, please this situation can be handled in a
different way," he said Also, Itoro Etim, a
commercial taxi chauffeur said the day was
wasted
because he could not ply the road even when he
had already hired a taxi for the day.
The VP who was a keynote speaker and special
guest of honor at the occasion of the 10th
Memorial
Anniversary of the first High Court judge of the then
South Eastern State, Justice Peter Odo Effiong
Bassey, held at the University of Calabar. Source: http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/photos-vp-osinbajos-visit-shuts-down.html?m=1

Things should have been better organized better not to disrupt people's activities

However it's amazing that the man they call a "mere commissioner" is so powerful as to be able to ground the activities in a town and even the haters no fit do anything about it but to obey grin

Na only for internet they get mouth...like the loser above my comment grin

please OP get your facts right and dont post sentiments online. i reside in calabar and have toured the major road that cut across the town today, takling about MM highway from 11:00 am till 2:00 pm when i got back home, No road was Blocked. in calabar there is only total road closure on carnival days, even so. there are some places to maneuver. there is also a by-pass that can easily take you across. roads are only closed temporary when the VIP's convoy pass then its opened. please stop spraying such sentimental messages around its really wrong
