2023: Second Niger Bridge Enough For South-East To Vote Tinubu – Uzodimma by Lurdmax10: 9:42pm On Jan 05, 2023
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state said the Second Niger Bridge executed by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is enough for the Igbo people of the South-East geopolitical zone to vote for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in 2023.

Uzodimma made this assertion during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

He said, “Senator Bola Tinubu is the presidential candidate of the APC, the party in power. From 1970 when the civil war ended, the Igbos asked for the Second Niger Bridge, and government after the government came with promises that were not fulfilled.

“The last Christmas was greeted with jubilation; Igbos coming from outside the South-East using the Second Niger Bridge. That is even enough for the whole Igbos to vote for Buhari’s legacy to continue.”

Uzodimma, who is the coordinator for Tinubu’s campaign in the South-East, also said most of the federal roads in the zone have received sufficient attention and budgetary commission and commuters no longer suffer as they use to before.

“It is not about whether Bola Tinubu is from the same place with me; it is about the programmes, to the extent that the manifesto of our great party has convinced and endeared the people. I’m very confident that the party to beat in Nigeria is the APC,” he said.

Uzodimma also said he is running a unified campaign for all APC candidates in the South-East, expressing confidence that all the party’s candidates from the governorship, House of Assembly, House of Representatives to Senate seats will be elected.

Federal Government on December 15, 2022, temporarily opened the bridge to traffic to ease the experience of travellers during the Yuletide break pending the final completion of the project.

The 1.6 kilometres long bridge links Anambra and Delta states.

The Second Niger Bridge was first proposed during the 1978/79 political campaign by then-candidate Shehu Shagari of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

Hope Uzodimma lives among these people, but obviously doesn't know them as he should.

Their comments on the bridge right from when Buhari started work till now that the bridge is in use should be a good pointer to what they really are.

I used to buy 3 bottles of a particular juice from one shop and leave my balance of N600 for the sales boy. I give 3k and my balance is 600. The sales boy became so "entitled" to this 600 that the moment he sees me parked in front of his shop, he simply arranged the 3 juice in poly bag for me and collect the 3k while I wind up and move. One day, the entitled idiot asked, "oga, nothing for your boy"? To cut the story short, I collected my 600 that day, and the last time he saw me there.

They always feel entitled to whatever anyone does for them, yet you can't park in front of their shop for 2 minutes just to answer a telephone call.

Even this onye iberibe supreme court governor Hope Uzondinjo is talking where sensible are talking? Bridge that will be tolled is what they are celebrating as achievement. So the SE is the only place the senseless govt is doing a favour by building a bridge?

The Loko Oweto Bridge was also complete within the same time but no fanfare.Always celebrating mediocrity is the basis of hero worship in Africa. Ekwensu kpokwa gi ezigbo okuu.

So leaving 600 for a sales boy is what makes me a "nairaland billionaire"? Are you that poor that 600 is such a huge amount to you?

Well, I'm not a billionaire, infact I'm not even a big boy, but for sure, I'm very comfortable. As in, very very comfortable and I'm very thankful to God.

They are still quoting this fashola's lie. The only reason he left that project, without killing it is because Goodluck Jonathan concession that bridge to a consortium made up of Julius Berger, Some local and some international banks.
The bridge will be tolled, Fashola knows that. But that will be long after the elections. Federal Government paid for only the Engineering design in 2012, before Buhari. Every other thing will be paid for by us.

So Second Niger Bridge has nothing to do with Buhari. He did not terminate it, only because of the private sector interest behind the project.

We are still Waiting for Simon Ekpa to order IPOB to blow up the Bridge just like Ojukwu blew up the first Niger Bridge in 1967 barely 18 months after Balewa completed and opened it

Even if buhari turned the whole Alaigbo to Dubai, the ibos will still hate on him, they have still not gotten over Jonathan's loss since 2015 while the people of South south ( obaseki, udom, okowa, diri) have not only moved on but are supporting Atiku over obi.

I'm just happy this political class of idiots who call themselves South East leaders will be voted out in a few months time, Igbos should NEVER repeat the mistake of electing useless sell outs like Uzodinma, Umahi etc into any position of government in the SE ever again, Uzodinma has ruined Imo state to the extent that it will take some real effort by the next government of Imo state to fix the mess...we need to permanently bury the APC and PDP fifth in Alaigbo when we vote at the polls from the gubernatorial to the ward level.

This guy has his head stuck so far up the leaky baba’s anal sphincter that he might just suffocate himself if he doesn’t come up for air soon! He just makes things worse for his party in the SE anytime he opens his mouth to speak. One toll bridge in an eight year tenure should be enough for a third of the nation’s population to return their oppressors when they’re finding it hard to fuel their cars to cross said bridge??

Granduer delusion! The senseless overhyping of this second Niger bridge by this disastrous govt and its hoardes of zombies will almost make one to think that the money used to build it is from APC personal pocket.

The government needs security, quality affordable healthcare, electricity, good roads to travel on( including bridges to transverse over aquatic terrains if needed be) etc. So providing the citizens with dividends of democracy is not a privilege but a right.

The day Nigerians will wake up to the fact that building infrastructure is the citizen’s fundamental right & our commonwealth that is the day these senseless politicians will start respecting us. .
