Peter Obi Vehemently Condemns Lagos-Calabar Highway As A Misplaced Priority by emkz: 2:54pm On Apr 30, 2024 |
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, took to his verified Twitter handle to lampoon the Federal Government for continuing the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. In his tweets, he rued the economic and job losses, asking the government to focus on maintaining existing highways instead of engaging in non-essential projects.

emkz: If anyone from the Niger-Delta comes across the thread, please remember that some of you voted for Peter Obi. Peter Obi has demonstrated he is against the progress of the Niger Delta communities. The bulk of the funds for running our economy comes from the Niger Delta. But he says a big project to criss-cross the Niger Delta is a misplaced priority. Note that the US spent their way out of recession through the New Deal which focused on massive infrastructural development across board, including roads. There is no nation interested in progress that is currently not engaged in one form of infrastructural development or the other. But the one which is 60 years old overdue in Nigeria, Peter Obi is fighting it, simply because he lost election. If he didn't build anything meaningful in Anambra, I think it is disingenuous to fight against something being built through the Niger Delta. Thanks to Tinubu's ingenuity, Lagos is undergoing massive infrastructural development and embarking on an audacious railway project which the likes of Rufai Oseni would condemn. Peter Obi doesn't want the progress for the Niger Delta. He just wants to get the votes and use anti-developmental and archaic ideas to ruin this country completely. Only vote for those who want progress to be in your land. With this tweet, Peter Obi has shown he is not interested in that. As for the Landmark CEO who has been all over the place making noise, can he show us documents where the shorelines and beaches in his location were ceded to him? If he violated the right of way, it is evil for him to complain. The best thing to do was to meet and find ways to relocate his business or shift to an area where the coastal highway won't pass. When I travelled through Accra-Cape Coast highway, part of which was adjacent to the ocean, it was a beautiful sight with the blue waters! Guess what? Beaches still functioned!! Just to add, a road network is also a delight for businesses. Food can easily be transported from rural areas to urban centers and those in rural communities would make good money. But Peter Obi does not want this. 149 Likes 15 Shares |

Hypocrisy. When he was demolishing business and properties in Anambra to make way for a road, even a Brewery that was a competitor to his Own brewery was not spared. Where was he when Amaechi was building a funny rail line to Niger Republic? It's when he realises more development is coming to the Niger Delta via the coastal highway then.his blokos begin dey stand in opposition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0WrY43K3cE?si=I80p3SgPZdXnDSrQ 71 Likes 15 Shares

Idiots will soon come to cry their salty tears on this thread. They saw the increase of customs rate and they avoided the thread. They saw the LIES about a $500m investment, and they avoided the thread. But now, an honest man has spoken . You'll soon see them scurry out like rats to cry, wail, roll on the floor and pour ashes on their empty heads. 1, 2, let the tears begin, ladies and gentlemen. 151 Likes 16 Shares

Highly misplaced priority... The only question I have for Thièfnubu and his brain dead zombies is; They should show me where this road project will pass through in Rivers State and name the location.. Lagos shoreline is totally different from what is obtainable in Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers State. Travel and see things yourself. Are they going to build the coastal highway on swampy mangrove forest or in the creeks? . 91 Likes 7 Shares |

Your president has been blundering, lying and making life miserable for every Nigerian, but you are more concerned with the sayings of an honest man. You can see that you, yarimo and helineus are children of the corn, and you will stop at nothing until Nigeria is brought to its knees. Cowardly rats. 75 Likes 6 Shares

Same way he was demolishing houses and businesses in Anambra to make way for highway. Hypocrite. Dear @PeterObi It appears you have allowed your electoral loss to convert you into a full blown pathological liar and a desperate man on a mission to always deceive. How on earth would you say that over 100,000 jobs are about to be lost because of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project. How many times do you need to be told that the Landmark beach resort for instance, is not going to lose any of its buildings. Landmark has no building on the beach itself apart from chairs, tents, astro turfs etc. The Landmark towers, Landmark Apartments, their event centre and shopping arcade, are NOT affected by the demolition. In fact the beach that is going to form part of the road is within the federal government's right of way, which makes any structure on that path an illegal structure. Are you saying if you are President, you will cede the federal government's right of way to any developer? Meanwhile, as Governor of Anambra State, you demolished part of Premier Brewery in Onitsha to make way for road reconstruction and you said at the time that any building that stands in the way of road construction will be brought down with no compensation. You did not remember COMPASSION IN PUBLIC POLICY then or the effect on the business of Premier Brewery. What changed now? Your hypocrisy and short memory needs to be studied in a Philosophy school honestly. In case you don't know, the value the Lagos-Calabar coastal road will bring to that corridor after construction far outweighs whatever structures that will be demolished. This is not even hard to comprehend. A new beach front will definitely emerge and tourism will be greatly boosted. It is now obvious that you are not capable of grand visioning. You only see the present. If previous administrations in Lagos were only looking at the present with no grand vision, Landmark will not even have a place to erect his investments in the first place. The Lagos great seawall made it possible. The coastal road is a boulevard like no other within Lagos, and your wailing cannot stop it. I understand that you are a minimalist that thrives on doing the barest minimum with poor quality as your watchword, so, I'm not totally surprised that the scope of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road is shocking to you. It's even amusing that you're complaining that the project is progressing at a fast pace and yet insinuating that the project will take 30 years to be completed or likely to be abandoned. Do you even listen to what you say sometimes? My advice to you is just to sit back, relax and watch as Engr. Dave Umahi delivers what you think is impossible. Action is better than cho cho cho. I also think you are threatened by the rising profile and undeniable competence of Minister of Works, Dave Umahi and the reality that he will one day become the first president of Nigeria from the South East in the 4th Republic while you take your place as one of most dangerously deceitful and bitter politician to have ever graced Nigeria's political landscape. 106 Likes 14 Shares |

Waste of resources it is. Why not use the money to create more sea ports to decongest lagos port. Create one in Ondo, modernise the one at Koko in delta state and another one in the S/E. The ROI would have been massive. But he won't do that because his company hitech would lose out of the project. He won't see anything to eat. 37 Likes 8 Shares |

This project was hastily done and we all know why Don't forget there is a east-west road yet to be completed, which connects Niger Delta cities to Lagos There is high poverty and suffering among the masses but government's priority is speedily awarding trillions of naira worth of road construction The evil fake lovers of Nigeria will always support anything that makes Nigerians suffer anyway. They supported Buhari to ruin Nigeria for 8 years and they'll support anything that Tinubu does to put Nigerians into more suffering 48 Likes 3 Shares |

It's a misplaced priority. Construction of rail way too. The main focus of the government should be 1. building more refinaries to reduce the price of petroleum since it's obvious that it's the mainstay of our economy and has multiple effect on our economy. 2. Working toward providing constant electricity. The growth of our economy and busnesses depends largly on this. Any other thing can come after these two is taken care of. 33 Likes 1 Share |

Nawa4nl: Okay. Let me help you. You say someone is a cocaine sniffing thug. If a cocaine sniffing thug defeats me in an election, I'd commit suicide because it proves a cocaine thug messed me up. You'd argue that Peter Obi won the election. Even Peter Obi himself does not believe he won the election. It is characteristic of a supporter of someone who came 3rd in an election and claimed 1st, but could not prove it because he didn't believe in it. If he believed he came 1st, why was he asking that the candidate who came 1st be disqualified for alleged double nomination of his running mate, which turned out to be a blatant lie? If he believed he came 1st, why was he dying about IREV? Didn't his party agents have their own results? IREV is a viewing portal and not a collation center. If he believed he won, why didn't he present his results from his party agents from the collation center? Cry all you want, Tinubu remains your president. Deny your loss, it will never make your demi-god the president. Accuse Tinubu of the inability of your penis to function, there is only one person in pains: the one who cannot accept his fate. 16 Likes 3 Shares |
