APC Declares Buhari Adopted Son Of The Niger Delta by khalifjgusau(m): 9:57pm On Jun 01, 2016 |
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Rivers State, has
declared President Muhammadu
Buhari an honorary son of the
Niger Delta region, saying that he
has in only one year in office demonstrated his great love for the
region and determination to fast-
track its development. The party cited the inclusion of the
Calabar–Lagos rail line and
Calabar–Itu road in the 2016
budget, as well as the impending
Ogoni clean-up exercise to justify
its position that President Buhari has done enough within a short
while to qualify to be regarded as a
Niger Delta son. Chairman of APC in the state, Dr.
Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, in a
statement issued in Port Harcourt
yesterday, described the inclusion
of the Calabar – Lagos rail line in
the 2016 budget as a demonstration of the love Buhari
has for the Niger Delta and a
measure of his seriousness to
fast-track the development of the
region and arrest unemployment in
the area. Ikanya said, “The importance of
this singular project towards the
general economic enhancement of
the region and the country at large
cannot be over-emphasised. With
the inclusion of the death trap called Calabar – Itu road and other
projects of prime benefit to the
region in the 2016 budget and the
kick-starting of the Ogoni clean-up
exercise in the next few days. “The Ogoni clean up, which the
past administrations including the
high corrupt administration of Dr
Jonathan though a son of the
region wickedly and totally ignored,
it will not be out of place therefore if we declare President
Muhammadu Buhari as a true
friend and son of the Niger Delta
region. With this development, all
the efforts of Chief Wike to
frustrate this exercise now amounts to noting.” He pointed to the earmarking of
N60 billion for the Calabar – Lagos
rail line and N6.6 billion to
rehabilitate the Calabar – Itu
Federal Highway, in addition to the
following major projects in the South-South: the rehabilitation of
Odukpani – Itu – Ikot Ekpene road
in Cross River/Akwa Ibom states
(N6 billion); construction and
installation of 10km of 33KV line
and associated 2x15MVA 33/11KV sub-station at Ibuzor, Delta State
(N360 million). |
