Failed Federal Roads: The Fact They Dance Around, The Fictions They Are Feigning.

~By Peter Uwuoruya, mipma

It is no longer news that nearly all the federal roads particularly the one in the South-South/Eastern region were intentionally abandoned since the past 8 years by the failed APC-led federal that came on board with the mantra of "change" used to deceived the people, so many Nigerians have been suffering due to reckless abandonment of the roads which has somewhat crippled the social economic status of the areas, and have also led to the lost of lives, goods and properties of many Nigerians.

A lot of calls have been made to the Federal Ministry of Works and its agencies FERMA but all to no avail, due to those developments, some Nigerians maybe out of emotions, sentiments also keep calling on state as well because the state government are closer to the people, some of the failed APC media allays sees this as an opportunity to misinform and misled the gullibles have also been hiding under these guise to lampoon the opposition state Governors like it in Edo and sell all kinds of hogwash stories to hoodwink the unsuspected public, but they failed to acknowledge the fact that their incompetent and clueless government at the centre failed the people in all ramifications.

Even there are established fact that the Governor of Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki has made several attempts to do palliative works or takes over the rehabilitation of the entire roads, but due to the stringent policies put in place by the same Federal government whose responsibility is to fixed all the federal roads have been denying the people public goods, Buhari led APC have used that as an impediments to denied Nigerians what is due to them.

It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to do the federal work and on this basis, allocations are being shared in that line, just as it was stated by the immediate past Minister of Works, Mr. Babatunde Fashola,SAN when he visted Edo State to see the deplorable condition of Sapele road before their tenure ellipsed 3 months ago, I quote; ..."there are processes, there are laws, by law the roads are Federal roads, by law, states can ask for them, Federal government can grant them under certain conditions, the President who is the custodian of those roads must be informed, he must meet in council with his Ministers to inform them, he wants to give this road to this state...states that are connected to that road like Kogi, Delta States, we must hear from them, the process has to be followed...he added that there is a distance between proposal, implementation and results, from this of the Minister, every discerning mind can tell that the APC led Federal government is playing with the sensitivity of intelligent Nigerians because these same roads were claimed to be awarded earlier by the same Minister.

One will ask, after putting in place those stringent conditions to deprived the States from acting why is the Federal government failing to address the precarious situation? Why its failure to addressed the plight of the people? Why are they shying away from it in addition to the wicked policies they they smashed at Nigerians with at the inauguration of their new unpopular government, Nigerians have never had it this bad from 1999 till 2015.

What also bother many Nigerians most is that, from year to year, a huge amount of resources are being budgeted for roads construction, rehabilitated and reconstruction, just like the states also have their own state responsibility. It is only the mischief makers that will know all these and still go about to maliciously and mischievously call out the state, or the Governors when the federal government refused to perform their responsibilities like the big brother government it is with all the resources it allocate to itself monthly.

In order for them to defend or cover up their party malfeasance and wickedness against Edo people, whenever they are being challenged with facts and figures of their 8 years poor performance in power, these APC aligners go about showcasing some of the roads the state government is
yet to attend to, to be realistic, Edo State, under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki with the lean resources have experienced a lot of infrastructural growth, so many roads, bridges and flood control structures have been built and many are still ongoing, so many gully erosion sites neglected by past administrations have been reclaimed, coupled with the institutional reforms as well as making the state economy attractive for investors without making too much noise about them.

To show the level of decadent and infrastructural and administrative deficit APC led the nation, it is there on the news and in the public domain the complaints of Tinubu led APC new government accusing the Buhari led APC past government of handing over a death economy to it, meanwhile in another hand, so many Nigeria pundits and observants have also opined that Buhari government is better than what we have now as new government going by it clueless and unfruitful policies that have pushed Nigerians into abject poverty, this has further shows clear that APC as a political party has failed woefully in all entirety and it responsibility to provides good leadership to Nigeria and Nigerians shows that it is a disaster, hence the party and it's naive supporters should bury their head in she and take responsibility for their obvious failure, instead of looking for the opposition Governors to drag along.

Immediately Fashola left as Lagos state governor, he became a name synonymous with failure, nothing good he ever did working with the federal govt was successful. Unfortunately, he was one of those that spoke the loudest but nothing to show for it

Very unfortunate
