Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pledged to complete the construction of Second Niger Bridge if he is elected president.

Mr Abubakar, a former vice president popularly known as Atiku, stated this on Thursday while campaigning in Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra State.

Atiku said he was going to complete the construction of the bridge because one of his wives is from the State.

His running mate, Peter Obi, is a former governor of the state.

The Second Niger Bridge has being a reference promise always been made by politicians seeking the exalted office in the land.

While past administration of the PDP government made similar promises to ensure the completion of the project, the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) also bought into the idea by using the project to campaign during the 2015 general election. The ruling party is yet to accord any seriousness to the project as at press time.

“I’m not here to campaign, but to inform you that your son, Peter Obi and your daughter are the real contestants. I’m in the minority,” Atiku said at the rally.

“You asked me to complete Second Niger Bridge, that I’ll do because of my wife,” he added.

The PDP candidate also promised to tackle infrastructural development in the region.

“With Peter Obi as the VP, be rest assured that the roads in the region will be completed too,” he said.

Meanwhile, the opposition party has threatened war if the presidential election slated for this month is rigged in favour of the ruling APC.
