4th Mainland Bridge they have been talking about it for over 30years. They are just correcting an anomaly. Rotimi Ameachi just use his Ministry do I beg vote for me for North. A major new bridge was also built in Onitsha to Delta. No new major project for South West and all major connections and states along the route benefit not just Badagry and Sokoto so a legacy project. They must think only the north deserves new infrastructure just wait your turn. Also coastal reduces the number of houses to be demolished. [quote author=fergie001 post=137397272]A former Special Adviser to former Kano State Governor, Salihu, has insisted that yesterday's Federal Executive Council meeting was a "South West FEC meeting". Salihu who posted on X has been a constant critic of the alleged lopsided infrastructural raise and allocations to the South West, especially Lagos, the President's home state. The FEC yesterday approved the following projects.... Yesterday, the FEC approved several fresh and revised road project contracts: 1. Sokoto–Badagry Coastal Superhighway Section 3 163 km (Badagry → Ogun-Oyo border) ₦553 billion (₦3.39 bn/km, full concrete) 2. Ota–Idiroko Section I + Flyover 14 km road + 509 m flyover, Ogun ₦98 bn (road) + ₦23 bn (flyover) = ₦121 billion total 3. Ijebu Igbo–Etapa–Owoyen Road 37 km (Ogun-Oyo link, +7 km added) ₦53 billion (from ₦13 bn original) 307% increase, now full concrete with upgraded base. 4. Lagos–Ibadan Expressway Phase II Section II Fresh award: ₦43.73 billion Includes underpasses, ramps, side roads. 5. Ilorin–Omu Aran–Egba Road Phase I 31 km (out of 207 km), Kwara ₦43 billion 6. Wasasa–Turunku–Mararaba Phase II 42 km, Kaduna ₦30.23 billion Continues earlier 7.8 km section. 7. Enugu–Onitsha Road Phase I 35 km (OP Junction → Anambra border) ₦28.47 billion total (₦7 bn balance pending). 8. Mushin–NNPC–Apapa–Oshodi Dualisation 14.4 km, Lagos ports access ₦19.09 billion (up from ₦11 bn). 9. East–West Road (restructured) PH–Warri axis + 3 flyovers + 2 bridges Inherited ₦156 billion package Two new flyovers (Abuloma & Refinery) Salihu's reply https://x.com/dawisu/status/1986748878272811049?t=TKIVmo3YLVCn4H4jXUBxEQ&s=19[/quote] |

ShoeMarket:How can they condemn Buhari when they were the ones who made Buhari? Tinubu formed APC with this wack ideology based on nepotism, before inviting like minds from the north. If you watch him carefully, especially how he seem to have embraced tribalism wholeheartedly, you would know he was the brain behind APCs persistent crave for petty politics. Time will prove him wrong for this.. |

Shawarmagirl:This is why till tomorrow the South South Region still considers Jonathan's tenure a waste of South South opportunity. Even in Bayelsa his home state, no roads, no portable water, no hospitals, nothing, absolutely nothing to show for a people that had their son as president for a wooping 6years tenure. Imagine what Tinubu would do for the yorubas with a six year tenure. Majority of the LGAs in Bayelsa can only be accessed by boats, no road networks. The East West Road which is a major economic link road for the Niger delta states was abandoned, Ogoni oil spill cleanup abandoned, onne port, and all the ports within the south South, all abandoned, I can go on and on. Yet Jonathan was president for a full 6years. |

Say what you want, these roads have significant economic importance. I'm from the east but stay here in Ota and I can tell you how excited I am to see the OTA Idiroko road being in the budget... That road is important to the nation and it's in a terrible state. Same with Lagos Ibadan road. So I've got no complaints, only for the Minister to deliver. Let them just do the job well |

Ezeama400:Ok, cool down for a minute! What do you actually want? You are not talking or writing down what you actually need or is it KANU that will be sentenced on the 20th that is confusing you? Is that all the roads that are being embarked upon throughout the country? Buhari was there and was carrying project to the north than elsewhere. Let south west enjoy themselves too. South east also should wait for Obi. You did not vote for Tinubu, you have little to comment even though Tinubu is trying to balance, you don't expect 100% balancing. Any project done in south west is actually for all Nigerians because when Bokoharam and ipob/ESN send you away, your destination is south west |

Ezeama400:How can he be deceiving himself when he has broken the opposition parties and all the governors are queuing up to join Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC? What do you think Tinubu is doing with the 53% increased revenue that is for the federal government alone, while the 36 states scramble for 27% ![]() He is bribing politicians who will mobilise stomach infrastructure to buy votes from deliberately impoverished masses, in Stalinist style of Stockholm Syndrome. https://www.nairaland.com/post/125340351 What will stop him from getting his 3rd term? Who will stop him from being a life president like Biya in Cameroon? How will he not succeed where Obasanjo failed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPytmuhYDAU NaijaRoyalty: |

nafada2:The Abuja land grabber that is building houses to compromise judges while buying properties in sane America is doing a great job of continuing to scatter PDP in favour of Tinubu’s reelection, with life President in view through a 3rd term agenda. jameshankss:>> >>>> 2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld. One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast. Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest. https://www.thecable.ng/2023-pdp-and-politics-of-healing-wikes-self-inflicted-injury/amp ddippset: |
