Oga it's GEJ that awarded that contract

Awarded but not done just as Goodluck inspected the completed map of second Niger bridge.

Who is more failed, more incompetent and more delusional than the Lagos landlord who steals trillions annually instead of employing well paid professionals in the civil service to make basic services and utilities available to everyone?

The balablu, bulaba propaganda progreThief who is so greedy that stealing higher revenue target achieved in August is not enough, he has to steal subsidy savings and even loans that are more that what PDP presidents borrowed in 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace, security, cheap petrol, cheap dollars etc!

Who is worse than Tinubu in our politics? None.

This is definition of failure .. his entire 8 years as governor was nothing to write home about

Lagos has now crossed the 3 Trillion Naira annual budget mark. Crossed 2 Trillion in 2024.

Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.

That’s delusional of you to say my fight with naive Obi. mention a more competent candidate among the oppositions? Like I said, many of you just started following politics few years back and you don’t even know anything about Nigerian politics that’s why it’s easier for y’all to be mislead.. Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo is potential Presidential candidate from your region yet because he’s against this current movement y’all keep talking him down.:

APC re did onitsha owerri- road. That owerri ph road is in a bad state. 9th mile to obolo is nonsense, APC is redoing that road. Ikot ekpene to umuahia is being redone. Ph- Aba is new... Calabar-ebonyi- Abuja is underway. APC completed renovation in Enugu airport.
APC set up SEDC. APC supported Air peace and peace mass more than any other government. The ndibe bridge linking Ebonyi and Abia is almost complete. Ph aba railway has been fixed.

But I thought you said Tinubu is not the one doing it but just taking the glory. FYI, that road reconstruction is ongoing and is being reinforced with concrete. So, you don't expect the contractors to finish it overnight. Relax and watch as it progresses. This development will touch everywhere las las. What I don't support is downplaying the efforts of your government just because you don't like the actors.

I am not even from the south east but I appreciate performance and infrastructural development. The last time I traveled on that road was about 6 years ago and I know how it was.

You still get mouth grin

You no dey shame. Sebi na obi do the road huh

Completion of road projects by the federal government.

The same federal government started Awka-Ekwulobia-Ideato-Orlu-Owerri highway, asphalted and put gutters on the entire road but could not finish a bridge across Orashi River in Ideato, Imo state, before Buhari military govt took power.
Till today, the Ekwulobia-Ideato-Orlu section of the road is not in use because of absence of that bridge.

One wonders: does the Federal ministry of Works keep data on its roads?

It's called Enugu Onitsha express road. There's a reason why it got the name in the first place. The name didn't come out of thin air.

I expect you to understand what I mean, but I won't hold my breath.

APC has been in lower for 12years. So when you show us things like this you are simply showing us the unprecedented level of bad governance by APC and at the time showing how desperate you guys are to hold onto power, such desparstion that makes one to pariase himself for an for doing a work he ought to have done but refused.

I won't vote APC, NEVER!!!!!!

I used that road during PDP era and it was in a terrible state. Stop this lies

Next time know you should know what to use and start plying the road.....which year was the road in terrible situation from 2015 backwards?

That particular 106KM stretch of road was my M.Eng project research topic, so I know the road far more than you do for sure.

Come to the south east. You'll see the roads.

Remember I said rehabilitation. I didn't say he built new roads.

That said, I reiterate that president Tinubu has done a lot in rehabilitation of south east roads. The Enugu/Onitsha expressway is a testimony. I'm not a Tinubu supporter by the way.

I am already in the South East and don't need to go there again

Enugu onitsha express road was ongoing before Tinubu regime, he only continued has gone pass Orji river junction that Buhari already built one lane of the road from Orji river to agu abor flyover

Enugu PH road started and continued from GEJ to Buhari and now Tinubu

Enugu Abakiliki, moving at snail speed yet na just expansion

Markudi 9th Mile, just demolition and nothing more

Onitsha Owerri road done by OBJ now death trap

This is a major road in South East and it's not awarded till date and Umahi, the minister of works said Tinubu is developing South East and that he should be voted to continue. As vital as this road is in South East it's not awarded and Umahi wouldn't allow sm1 to hear word full of propaganda.

But here is a man that you’re abusing Tinubu, He’s been able to build multi dynamic empires.. the previous president couldn’t be president without his influence. Do you know what that means?. don’t you think that he’s blessed with things he has been able to achieve in the recent years. You think we need a dunce as our president? I’m not even supporting any political party but I can tell you that someone like your principal who can’t coordinate any setting for at least 5 years shouldn’t be a leader in this country… I know that most you don’t have leadership qualities and you don’t have an idea of what leadership means

louqas:
Because the project was completed during his tenure
He could have stopped it for instance claiming you guys didn't vote for him
Let me give you an example
Gas pipeline is being constructed from Shagamu to Ibadan
But because Shellgas has an interest in that corridor and since Seyi Makinde is their contractor they contracted him to terminate the contract. The problem is NIPCO has a 25 year licence to supply gas to the entire south west. They headed to the court
Result:
Project stalled due to politics

This contract was under tax credit scheme cancelling it means MTN will rip Nigeria government and also the contractor RCC will walk away with so much money and claims. Since FG is not disbursing the money from coffers.. There's little or less control the government would have done to cancel it.

You mean to tell me that we had roads that bad, yet the Buhari govt. was busy constructing world class railway and tarred roads to Niger Republic?.
Interesting.

So, you haven't used the road in the recent years.

There are two lanes. One had long been completed. I don't know where this video is coming from 'cos it is the other one that is currently being done.
