APC seems to favor infrastructure to sharing the money around, PDP seems to be more focused on sharing the money.
There are people who will ask you weda na road we go chop, maybe for them sharing the money may be better.

No party shares money like APC.

From election to governance, everything is about sharing money.
As for the infrastructure it is funded via loans or impoverishing the populace
via massive wealth displacement from citizens to the government purse by targeted
inflationary policies.

It was a jab to the fake statistician but the joke flew over your head. This is a road PDP couldn't fix for 16 yrs.


-Kiss the truth!

Tolling an expressway that can't boast of streetlights from start to finish is an aberration. All these funny stuff though🤦🏽‍♂️

osuofia2:
If this tole were to be in the SE we no go hear word together

nairalanda1:
Why do you need streetlight on a highway?

free2ryhme:
APC and tolls—like bread and butter. Every road must come with a price tag. Instead of fixing the economy or making life easier, they keep finding new ways to squeeze money from the people. Citizens can barely afford fuel, food, or even electricity, yet here comes another toll gate to drain pockets. Shouldn’t good roads be a right, not a luxury? This government always finds a way to take, but when will Nigerians actually benefit from all these so-called “developments”?
