A "signature" item is something that is most closely associated with a person or that person's greatest accomplishment. So, in this case, we can say that the second Niger Bridge was Buhari's signature achievement, and when people, particularly in the South East, think of Buhari, the second Niger Bridge is likely to be the first thing that comes to mind.

The project is over 90% complete, and the federal government is working around the clock to ensure that it is commissioned in October of this year. Already so many residents from the South East have been hailing Buhari over this project, they have even turned the project site into a tourist attraction ahead of the commissioning.

Aside from the glitz and glam of this massive project, which would bring unprecedented development to the South East, there is euphoria about how this project will be accepted by South Easterners ahead of the 2023 presidential elections.

Many Nigerians believe that the project will be one of Tinubu's selling points for the APC in the South East, so the commissioning will go a long way toward appreciating some of the landmark infrastructure achievements of the Buhari administration.


Nigerians have reacted to the fantastic project as expected. Many have thanked Buhari for it and expressed hope that Tinubu's incoming administration will do more to provide massive infrastructure to Nigerians, citing Lagos as support for their claim.

Here are some responses from respondents to the GREAT Bridge's much-anticipated commissioning.

Enoma Christopher

"This is encouraging and will go a long way to assuage our people from the South East who have been neglected in one way or another by previous governments. Buhari has done well in providing infrastructures, and it is my belief that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will do far more than the current government."

Ighile Solomon.

""There is no doubt Tinubu would make an excellent president. Recall that when the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabamila, visited Rivers State to commission some projects, Wike informed him about his construction of over 12 flyovers across the state."

In his response, Femi clarified that while his signature flyover projects are commendable, if he comes to Lagos, they will be discussing the construction of over 1000 flyovers from 1999 to date. Tinubu is a trailblazer who will undoubtedly make us proud."

Nigerians are confident that Tinubu's emergence will herald a slew of signature projects across the country.

View the video below @ the Owerri interchange of the second Niger bridge, and share your thoughts on the second Niger bridge, which is almost finished. Would it be crucial in influencing South East voters to support Tinubu and Shettima's ticket?

Only the living can drive on the bridge. Tackle insecurity

Even if he completes the bridge because of elections, we won't still vote APC, there's still heavy insecurity caused by bad administration.

We cannot continue like this.

Vote for Peter Obi.

Looking forwaed the grand opening of the MB2 -Muhammadu Buhari Bridge.

Well done on these feat

Bridge that will be tolled.

Indirectly we are the ones to pay for the bridge. I will continue to use the old bridge, while driving to my hometown from My base.

Me no go give una shishi on that new bridge

I'm PMB's critic but on this one,he really tried. He demonstrated so much political will that's why he completed it.
Just that the bridge will be tolled so invariably it's the road users that r paying for a part of the cost.
Well,he still tried at least to complete it.

If you'd use this bridge but hate Buhari and vote against APC, Angel of goodness will judge you. PDP couldn't deliver the project in 16years which Peter Obi was a member. They all embezzled the funds and turn you into electoral zombies.

It's directly when its tolled lol. I guess they didn't want to tax everyone to pay the whole cost. I dislike tolls but hate traffic more sometimes so I get your sentiment.

You probably have never travelled outside Nigeria. Tolling good road is good, let everybody that will use a good or serve okay for it beside no matter what the toll is less than a bottle of beer in many club. Nigeria should learn to pay for everything we use in this country. You don't want subsidy removed you don't want highway costing billions tolled

Kindly avoid the bridge. Either use the old bridge or swim across the river.

There are more than enough people ready to use that bridge and conduct their businesses

Why toll the bridge? That's just what spoilt everything the money used in constructing the bridge was gotten from the SS and SE so why toll it? Why didn't they toll the 3rd mainland bridge in lagos and other bridges in nigeria that was built by the federal govt?

The money used in building it is from the SS/SE besides it's still going to be tolled why didn't the federal govt tolled the 3rd mainland bridge in lagos after constructing it?

Stop playing the victim, the bridge was built from public funds and anybody who uses the bridge pays regardless the part of the country you are from, foreigners who uses it are also not excluded.
The Muhammadu Buhari bridge will not only be tolled, 12 other federal roads across the country are in consideration. The very day you guys are weaned off your victim mentality, the beginning of a new lease of life.

And this bridge shall be called MUHAMMAD BUHARI BRIDGE (MBB)
Any bager that is not happy should jump from the bridge.
