Buhari never asked anyone to vote for Tinubu

he said Nigerians should vote wisely...

Wisely can mean Tinubu Na......

I'm just imagining the Christmas celebration without the perennial gridlock on the Niger Bridge that lasts for more than a day. At times, the hold up extends close to Koca Junction in Asaba. Also the daily gridlock that lasts for hours especially in the evening will now become a thing of the past. Kudos to the Government of the day. It is a welcome development.

Real kudos.

Why then is buhari and APC taking Glory for what they didn't do?

bros, How much is a bag of rice in your area? How's the cost of living in your locality there?
People are dying of Hunger and you're talking about bridge ? Bridge that GEJ initiated and built?

The conception started by 1958 by the then candidate of NPN.

StrongAlphMale:
Jonathan did this project not buhari.

God bless GEJ. God bless our incoming president peter Obi

Watch the video and learn...... The project goes back to 1959.....

God1000:
Buhari did not initiate any project, he's only completing the ongoing ones by his predecessors

Watch the video before you say that please. This is history.

When President Muhammadu Buhari on October 8, 2020 made a promise to Nigerians that his administration would complete and commission the Second Niger Bridge before the end of his tenure in 2023, not many people took his promise seriously.
And the reason why many people took the promise made by the President with a pinch of salt is not far-fetched.

Let’s delve a little into history. The Second Niger Bridge was first proposed during the 1968/69 political campaign by the National Party of Nigeria.

In 1987, after warning about the state of the existing River Niger Bridge by the then Minister for Works and Housing Abubakar Umar, General Ibrahim Babangida challenged the local engineers to design the Second Niger Bridge.
The local engineers rose to the challenge and through the Nigerian Society of Engineers subsequently delivered a masterplan. Unfortunately, the turmoil that precipitated the end of Babangida’s administration in 1993 stalled the plan.

Under the subsequent military governments, the project received little attention. Upon the return to civilian rule on May 29, 1999, President Olusegun Obasanjo promised to deliver a second Niger River bridge.

However, Obasanjo’s administration did not carry out any major activity on the project until five days before he handed over in 2007 to the administration of Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua. That was when he flagged off the project in Asaba in Delta State.
The handing over of the project by Obasanjo to Yar’ Adua made his administration to effectively inherit a ₦58.6bn proposed cost for a six lane, 1.8 km tolled bridge, which was to be completed in three-and-half years.

Based on the funding structure then, the bridge was to be financed under a public private partnership (PPP) with 60 per cent of the funding coming from the contractor, Gitto Group; 20 per cent from the federal government and 10 per cent from the Anambra and Delta State Governments.

Unfortunately, the subsequent death of Yar’ Adua on May 5, 2010 marred the progress of the project. However, in August 2012, the Federal Executive Council under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, approved a contract worth ₦325m for the final planning and design of the bridge.
The project was subsequently awarded to Julius Berger for a contract sum of N206bn, to be implemented by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority with funding from the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund.


Before then, during the 2011 general election in Nigeria, Jonathan had while campaigning for office of the President promised that if elected, he would deliver the project before the end of his term in 2015.
