The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has commended the regime of the President, Major General, Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for the completion of the second Niger Bridge.

The organisation said the completion of the project had earned Buhari forgiveness from the Igbo people for not fulfilling his 2015 electoral promises, which included revamping the Enugu coal mine.

In a statement signed by the Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and made available to newsmen on Thursday, Ohanaeze stated that the project “will strengthen the level of people’s confidence in expecting more from the Buhari administration.”

The statement read in part, “We are conscious of the fact that there are about 3.3 km of uncompleted road from the Asaba axis and 7km of uncompleted road from the Anambra axis of the second Niger Bridge.

We are hopeful that the contractors will expedite actions for the realisation of 10.3 km of roads from both axes of the roads to ensure that commuters and road users will enjoy the benefits of the Second Niger Bridge during the festival period of Christmas and New Year.

“This is a legacy project that Ndigbo will always refer to as the mother of all infrastructural facilities completed by Buhari’s government and should be renamed after Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Bridge instead of the proposed name, Buhari Bridge.

“Ndigbo are relieved of unbelievable treaties of previous governments on the Second Niger Bridge and also pardon President Buhari over his inability to fulfil other 2015 electoral promises, which included the revamping of the Enugu coal mine.

The announcement of the completion of the Second Niger Bridge, including a 35km bypass road linking Anambra and Delta states through a concession under a public-private partnership scheme, has restored the confidence of Ndigbo that the project, which started on September 1, 2018, will be fully ready for inauguration by December 2022. Ndigbo is grateful for this feat and urges President Buhari to complete other projects in the southeast before May 2023.”

Am coming

If you like, name it Biafra, just acknowledge a Nigerian President of Northern extraction who is also a Muslim built the bridge.

This is Muhammadu Buhari bridge, that's what it will be called..
After the politics played with this bridge since 1979, Buhari, against all odds made it a reality, it is not too much to honour his name, it is good for posterity sake..

God bless you Mr president!!

Oliver twist the boy who asked for so much



He would never be satisfied with one thing..

Nice job

This is a joke, right?. Ohaneze are now group of comedians.



Me as Buhari will rather name the bridge ''FREE TO JUMP" . so those that has been criticising the bridge all this while, praying it never stand - can do the needful by ending it all over there due to hatred.

Only God knows when this project started, dragging till today. Meanwhile China would finish this project in 3 months

It will be better to name it after Nnamudi cow

How about naming it Nnamdi Kanu? Didn't Ojukwu see d need for a second Niger bridge? But he chose to go to war That killed More Than 2 Million Igbos

If I am Buhari, i will name it either Daura, Aisha, Yusuf or PMB bridge. That is d only way to take permanent residence in the heart of ur haters.

How dare you compare China made things with original Nigeria made things

Why not ask that they name it after amadioha?

Never seen such hateful and entitled humans my whole life. This government has done for them a million times what PDP ever did, yet they hate the government with raw passion, making stupid demands of it while doing so.

This thing about always keeping their attention trained squarely in Abuja while neglecting the actions of their local leader is the reason the region always boast the worst governors on the country's with the exception of Umahi.

Urheadmaster:

They should rather name after Afonja Muslim pi**gs .

Until the last grain of sand was put in place, Igbos denied the bridge was even being built or progress being made on it.

Terrible people.

Today they're begining to request that the bridge be named after a man who waged war against the country. Smh.

Fools talking as usual. Useless bridge that we will use explosives to bring down immediately after Biafra is restored and then build a well befitting mordern bridge that will be high enough for ships to sail through underneath.

It has already being named after President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ohaneze or Anambra State Govt can build a 3rd Niger Bridge and name after Ikemba. We can have more than two bridges linking Asaba and Onitsha after all Lagos has more than 2 bridges and one metroline linking Lagos CBD.

Ojokwu is a coward and doesn't deserve such honour.

2nd Niger bridge will remain Monammadu Buhari bridge

Biafra should immortalise ojokwu.

Nonsense

There are few areas where Buhari did well. This is one of them. Thank you Mr. President. If you do good,we go talk am,if na bad,we go still talk am. On this, You did well your excellency Sir

Either Name it after Buhari that built and Completed it or after Queen Elizabeth II so no one feels offended because of Ethnic reasons

It was even Ojukwu that Blew up the first Niger Bridge that Balewa and the Eastern Region built

It was Gen Gowon that rebuilt it again after the War
