I will like to advocate that APC should be shown the way out if they don't complete and commission the Lagos Ibadan expressway satisfactorily before 2018. GEJ almost completed the project before the 2015 elections..

It is time we stopped allowing politicians take us for granted.
The Lagos Ibadan expressway is one of the most important roads in Nigeria... While the government can fund cars for reps and senators..plus humongous allowances this road is left to rot.. while they move around in chartered jets... Lives are lost daily on this road...goods perish... enough is enough. Not to mention that private vehicles incur increased maintenance costs... Just like the government is mocking the citizens...

I agree we should use it to bargain, among other demands but saying GEJ ''almost completed it'' is nonsensical.

You think is worse than southeast that actually voted GEJ for second term without doing ANYTHING(not simple second niger bridge) for them but just out of emotions!

Yes the 'their boil is bigger than our boil so we should leave ours' mentality on display here again. Zoogerians never learn. Always comparing poverty with another poverty level as a yardstick, yet they want to be developed like the first world within a snap of the finger. grin grin

Well despite the perceived ineptitude and graft associated with GEJ the project was moving at an appreciable speed.

While I support the OP, your "appreciable speed" that couldn't finish the project in 6 years of Jonathan is rubbish.
Don't come with was he the first person to be the President?
We all knew OBJ was also useless before Jonathan came in.

When did GEJ start the project?

These south West people and suffer head is like 5&6. How could a reasonable set of people still nursing the idea of voting APC in 2019?

God save my people from slavery mentality.

Yet south east people gave all their votes to GEJ in 2015 even though he promised them 2nd Niger bridge which he could not deliver even on paper

We must always equip ourselves with detailed information on every matter of interest especially the ones that belong to history.

Remember in 2015, South East casted their votes emansly for GEJ not because he has done exceptionally well as a president but because, there was no better option. Many people considered him to be their 'familiar devil' rather than the 'stranger angel' that his coming with bags full of uncertainties.

Moreso, the role that religion, culture, tribalism, language and politics of bitterness cumbered with hate speeches played in 2015 general election can never be over emphasized.

It is true GEJ failed in his promises to the south east people and no apology for that. but, what can we say about APC and their goons who sees lies and deceptions as tool for governance? They renedged emphatically all their promises on the ground that, 'those promises were a mere political talk'. The president himself also said that, 'The promises were not expressly from him, but from the politicians and he can not deliver what he did not promise as a person'

South East's decision to vote GEJ was latter vindicated by the reason of Mr President's and his APC's attitude towards further widening the gulf of separation between us especially when he carelessly polarised the polity as 97% and 5%...

Bottom line, we must try not to make this mistake the second time if we realy want to have a country that our children will call their own.

2015 general election is 2015 general mistake.

Buhari, your messiah with a magic wand! What has he done? Even with his so called special brains and super ministers like nairaland's super mods . has he been able effect any good change in any sector? Was he not bewildered and incapacitated in all front?

What is the cumulative of the feet covered so far? Road, rail, electricity, economy, job creation, per capita income, even proper coordination between the three arms of the government? Everything is in total disarray. Governance in Nigeria is not getting better, rather is getting worse.

The situation we found ourselves after 2015 general election should open our eyes as to how to handle these set of people that take advantage of us at all time all in the name of politics.

Wise up guy, our mumu don do! The fight is no more between PDP AND APC or GEJ VS PMB. Not even between SE and other regions but the call is on us all to reason in the light of the kind of future we want for ourselves and our children.

That road is like 50% completed, i opined that like 25% of the total work was completed in the last 12 months. My office is along the Lag-Ibd expressway. Work has slowed down in the last 2 months, but not stopped. If the same pace used in the last 12 moths before the slump in work pace is applied in the next 12 months, the road would be like 80% completed.

Well, i am not sure if it can be completed next year ending, but a lot can be achieved in 16months . I think it depends on the level of funding.
