Between Obi And Tinubu Who Will Continue With The Lagos Calabar High Way? by FreedomfromtheT(op): 3:57pm On May 19, 2024
There has been so much talks about the Lagos Calabar Coastal highway.
Some Nigerians see this long and expensive project as a ploy by president Tinubu to get the votes of the people of the Niger Delta otherwise called the Southsouth people of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers States.
Some people suspect that if Tinubu is reelected, he would dump the project so long as the Lagos end has been perfected as he would not be needing anybody's votes anymore.
Somebody even said the blame would be laid squarely on the feet of David Umahi the minister of works, an Igbo man, as the supporters of this present government seems to be so Igbophobia meant on causing disaffection between the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria.
Peter Obi on the other hand, has criticized the project in terms of the humengous cost as well as it not economically beneficial to the states and not what the people of the Southsouth really need. (I think they need deep seaports to be working in virtually all the major towns of the Niger Delta, their current roads completed and others put in better shape).
Since the project has commenced as we are informed and is not likely to be completed within four years, I believe Peter Obi if elected, would most likely want to continue with the project in order to please his Southsouth inlaws and also get their support for 2031.
I believe Obi would in addition cause the deep seaports to be functional for economic vibrancy of the Southsouth region and the nation at large.
After all, president Buhari completed the second Niger Bridge which was started by his predecessor, former president Goodluck Jonathan.
God bless Nigeria.

You mean the coastal highway of fraud?

Where in the world does a broke country borrowing up and down get N7 trillion naira to complete a super highway as a priority project among all other priorities?

People already know that this project will be used for campaigning for 2027

The same way Tinubu and the SW betrayed Jonathan Goodluck in 2015 and made him a one term president is the same way SS will betray Tinubu.

Karma is a b!tch

Shut up.

The project is 70% funded by the contractor, and the FG pays 30%.

It’s a Build-Operate-Transfer project, whereby the contractor will toll the road to recoup his cost and profits before handing it over to the FG.

Did you IPOB emergency Nigerians complain when Buhari spent over a billion dollars building the 2nd Niger Bridge?

Of course not.

Selfish, pathetic reprobates.

Shut the f** up! A government that announced end of subsidy but still paying secretly does not do what it says

A government that claimed it floated the naira but still secretly defending it until they’re caught does not do what it says

Karma karma karma. SS will give Tinubu 2 by 2 in 2027

East West Road is there Mr man! Go and finish it first before embarking on a coastal highway of fraud

We all know what Tinubu’s plans are for this road but karma is a b!tch

You people are too evil minded in this country. You are ready to destroy Nigeria while claiming to love it.

You are the same people who were praising Buhari for 8 years while he was destroying Nigeria’s economy

Now you’re desperately trying to sell another fraud to Nigerians.

Una no de tire for all these lies and propaganda?

Who sold Buhari to Nigerians in 2015?

Who convinced Nigerians to vote for him again in 2019?

Who packaged and sold all the lies and propaganda that made Nigerians vote for him twice?

Was he destroying Nigeria’s economy or not while these lies and propaganda were being told?

Who is now telling Nigerians that Tinubu inherited a badly battered economy from Buhari?

You no get shame walahi

The first Niger Bridge had been in a very bad shape. It was carrying a lot of load and there was fear it would collapse leading to loss of lots of humans and property. The issue had been a big issue from the electioneering campaign of late former president Shehu Shagari down to former presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari who completed it.
Is there any danger to lives and property if the Lagos Calabar Coastal highway is not urgently executed at such huge cost?

If Igbos hate the Southsouth, they wouldn't have supported Goodluck Jonathan almost 100%.
If the Yorubas love the Southsouth, I don't think they would have joined others to humiliate and bully him out of office.

Yoruba voted for Jonathan in 2011.

Jonathan won 5 of the six S.W states.

Jonathan decided to exclude the S.W from his government.

On the contrary, I think Peter Obi will continue with it so as to use it for 2031 campaigns.
As for president Tinubu if he gets reelected in 2027 and then abandons the road, is there anything anyone from the Southsouth or anyone at that can do to him other than complain.

You now concur that most Yorubas helped to boot president Jonathan out of office while the Igbos overwhelmingly stood with him in tick and in thin both in 2011 and 2015. So who now loves the Southsouth- Igbos or Yorubas?

Gbam.


Yoruba voted Yar adua a PDP candidate for president in 2007.

Voted Jonathan another PDP candidate in 2011.

Igbo have always voted PDP for president till 2023.

Yes Jonathan messed up.

Listen to igbos advice to exclude the yoruba

I supported you, and u in-turn betray me.

I have the right to take my support elsewhere.

Without Yoruba support and backing Jonathan will never have been president.

I don't have to waste my reply on u.

Igbos said the same thing when the construction of 2nd Niger bridge was ongoing.

Saying buhari and fashola will not complete the project.

At least u people have been put to shame.

Why did the project start with FG 1Trn,why not the HiTech company build at least 10km before FG adds money to it? Why the rush, breaking all protocols of BPE contracts biddings

So it is the Yorubas that love the Southsouth people by joining others to mock, ridicule and blackmail their son president Jonathan out of the presidential seat.
But Igbos who supported Goodluck Jonathan a worthy son of the Southsouth in thick and thin both in 2011 and 2015 thereby incurring and inheriting the enmity of Jonathan's haters are now Southsouth haters.
What an emergency 'love' from Yorubas to the Southsouth people because of expected 2027 votes for president Tinubu!
