Credit should go to Minsiter Fashola the only one under this administration that has shown working, all the other 99 are dead beats and Tinubu is the deadest of them all
God punish him for mocking our democracy

Rotimi Amaechi did an outstanding job with the railways.

I consider him Buhari's best minister.

I am not a buhari or APC fan, have never and will never be, but truth be told This APC government has benefited the South East in terms of infrastructure more than any other government since 1999. It sounds very funny, but as much as i hate to admit, its the truth. This goes to show that Elections shouldnt really be about tribe or religion because sometimes you wouldnt benefit from your tribesman being in power. Lets vote wisely.

................by voting out APC

mention the infrastructures and compare them to the one he built in niger republic...not to talk of the once in other zones of Nigeria .excluding the South south..
Mind you the bridge is for south east and south south..

Contract of the bridge that was awarded under the GEJ administration and part payment made for it before APC snatched power. I can never laud Buhari for it.

Why didn't they repair the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway if they really want us to know that they worked.

The only aspect I applaud Buhari is the passing of the Electoral Reform Act to teach politicians like Tinubu and Atiku a lesson.
and Obi as well

It will actually favour a politician like Obi unlike the other aforementioned two who stop at nothing to give out money for vote buying or send thugs to snatch ballot boxes.

How is this short bridge worth 300b naira ??

First phase N336B
Just 1.6 km bridge with generic old school bridge design

Most FG projects in Nigeria are over inflated to accommodate kickbacks

The ONE and ONLY tangible gift to easterners by APC/ buhari, is all good, though.

Am not an Easterner, but that's not a gift.
The Easterners will pay back the cost of construction and interests accrued on the cost through toll

What's all the fuss about a less than 2Km bridge that's more of a greek gift to the South easterners than an actual infrastructural milestone for the good of the common man?

You people keep writing numerous articles praise singing a failed administration that has presided over the worst economic downturn we've ever had as a democratic Nation, as if the resources that were expended on it came from the pockets of Buhari and his litany of incompetent stooges.

To even think Nigerians are going to be paying for the daily usage of this bridge is an aberration on our sensibilities, in and of itself.

Abeg make we hear word!

What audio railway are you talking about? Are they working? Are they making money to pay off the loans? Even in his region the SS There is very little to show
To say he did an "OUTSTANDING" job is insulting to Nigerians
The railways that he could not secure and was trading blame when kidnappers struck. He did not show leadership then.
There is nothing to celebrate from Amaechi

Railways that we borrowed for but cannot operate ?
