It is not unexpected for the APC to make a huge political capital out of this 2nd Onitsha Bridge project.



Some have already christened it the Mohammadu Buhari Bridge (MBB).




PDP frittered away the golden opportunity of being the party to have achieved this "feat" but allowed themselves to wallow in the euphoria that power at the centre was their birthright.




For years, this project was built on mere paperwork as it was highly politicized without any will to see to its completion.




On this, kudos to Buhari and the APC in spite of their many obvious failings.





I hope this will serve as a lesson for the PDP that, if peradventure, it finds itself in the corridors of power at any other time in future, they would make hay while the sun shines.

No kudos to buhari anything. Inasmuch I hate the contract signed to tolled the bridge, Jonathan had paid counterpart fund for project execution as well as Lagos Ibadan expressway. But APC chose to delay the project till this date.

You sound like you know a little about construction.

You can not put the complete sum in a year budget.

The project sum will definitely appear in bit until the construction is completed.

GEJ is is corrupt politician under whose administration billions were stolen. Who made him anybody's hero? Same thing is also going on today, billions being stolen. This right here is the problem of Nigeria, because I criticised buhari, you jump and say I'm a gej supporter, when I criticised gej back then, his supporters said I was a buhari supporter.
When will you masses stop being foolish? These politicians don't care about you, they are even all friends. Instead of us to come together to demand better, we are taking useless sides as if it is a game. I feel sorry for you

This long rant about ur assumption. Who told u I support anyone? Am just saying the project has been nonexistent for years just name and imagination. Now we have physical structure to show for it, let them take pictures with satellite orbiting in space if they want

People that are advertising this bridge is giving Buhari credit for constructing it and you are hating GEJ who they claimed never did anything for the bridge, isn't it an irony?�If GEJ original plan for the bridge is for it to be tolled why then their hero did nothing about it? He modified the initial design but forgot to remove the toll gate yet they still want us to celebrate him and spit on GEJ. How much is the cost of the project Nigerian government can't pay? Celebrating a hire purchase bridge is nothing but stupidity.

Well I hated GEJ because at the time he launch the construction of the bridge was about same time he did that of Lagos Ibadan expressway, he didn’t put toll on the road but he forgot to remove toll on this bridge.How wonderful!

He did not forget anything because the bridge was to be constructed by PPP arrangement. That is pure wickedness.

Buhari administration told us that the money from abacha loot would be used to fund the Bridge but till date they have not told us if they have renegotiated with JB.

NEWSDoyin Okupe shares shocking revelations about Second Niger BridgePublished on April 14, 2018By Daily Post Staff



Doyin Okupe, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has shared 15 revelations about the Second Niger Bridge.


Quoting Chidi Cali, a Facebook user, in a post entitled: “GEJ, Buhari & The People,” Okupe said,

[1] The Bridge is NOT Being Constructed by the FGN.
[2] It’s a PPP Project which the FGN contributes a tiny fraction.

[3] The 2nd Niger Bridge Will Cost about N117 billion.

[4] Started in 2013 and should have been completed in 2017, but worked stopped for 31 months. Completion date Not certain now.

[5] FGN share of the Cost is N30billion. Jonathan through the Sure-P paid N21.2billion (71%) including N7billion for the completion of preparatory work (Phase 1).

[6] 38% of the work has been done as at Jan 2015.
[7] The N140b Oshiomhole said was wasted on Admin cost on the bridge was a lie, as admin cost will not be higher the to cost of the whole project.


[8] Buhari’s Govt Paid N2billion NOT $2billion as Osinbajo said during the Anambra state election. They will be paying another N3.05 when 2018 budget is approved.

[9] Work has restarted in earnest at the site and about 5%-7% has been completed bring the total completed work to about 43% to 45% according to an engineer I spoke to.

[10] All the pictures flying all over the internet are pictures of work-in-progress made during the 1st quarter of 2015.

[11] In summary Jonathan Govt have paid 71% of FGN share of the cost, While Buhari’s govt has paid 6.1%.

[12] Julius Berger, the Major Contractor and Construction company will put Toll Gate on Completion of the Bridge to cover their cost.

[13] The Construction Company is Funding the Project and the People using the Bridge will bear the cost via Toll Charges.


14] The real People building the Bride are Nigerians that will use the Bridge, as they will REPAY the cost to Julius Berger.

[15] For those celebrating Politicians and sharing old or fake pictures of 2nd Niger Bridge, the #Facts are Not on your side

If GEJ did not start and paid a large part of fg obligation, Bubu would never touch it. How come this is the only project Bubu is continuing in the East?

Same thing with railways, Bubu only touched them because its was far gone

Give it a rest and stop the childish lies
There is no Julius Berger money in this project
When GEJ left there was nothing on ground anything else is lies
Julius Berger will not be operating the tollgate
The bridge will be used not only by Eboes

You are clearly misinformed, ignorant and paranoid
The only thing GEJ did was spend money on consultancy which was just another chop chop with nothing to show

The old bridge is still there and won't be tolled
