The minister for transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has commissioned the train service that was completed by the previous government of Goodluck Jonathan. 

At the inauguration of the Port Harcourt – Aba Mass Transit Train Services in Port Harcourt, Amaechi said he never knew that Nigerian had a good railway system.

He said: “In fact, I think we have a problem; most people don’t believe that the railway transport is functioning in Nigeria. I didn’t even know, until I started this tour, I never knew that the railway was functioning, it was even from his (MD’s) speech that I learnt that there are some coaches or services that go to Kano or Port Harcourt or elsewhere.

According to the transport minister the federal government is to create seven more rail corridors of standard gauge railways in the country.He stated that the initiative was a public-private-partnership which sought to modernise and enlarge railway transportation across Nigeria.“This initiative is aimed at remodelling and redevelopment of our major railway stations within the country.

“Under the rail modernisation programme, government will open new railway lines to achieve an efficient rail network.“The Ministry of Transportation has carried out feasibility studies to create seven additional rail corridors of standard gauge railways under the public-private-partnership initiative,” he stated.

However, it seems to be the same new train service between Makurdi and Port Harcourt that the former vice president Namadi Sambo commissioned on behalf of Jonathan in Makurdi on January 24, when he said that Jonathan had redefined the railways, aviation and road transport.

Exactly One year ago when I wanted to travel to my village for Christmas and new year festivities, I decided to travel with train. My major aim was to witness Jonathan's Railway Transformation by myself.
As usual, I didn't dissapoint my nairaland admirers and enemies.
I captured some moments within and outside the train which I shared in this thread.

Today, APC government is taking glory for projects they don't know how or when it was done.


Below is pictures of the minister of transport, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi commissioning the same train that took to village last year.

I SMELL SCAM.

I pray God will resuscitate the brains of those that believed this Sham called CHANGE..

BeeBeeOoh:

Amen.



Ishilove, lalasticlala.

Should they scrap/abandon the acclaimed Legacies....?

#PRAY FOR APC# is only God that can deliver dis devilish party called apc with dia Buhari of a dullard in command of propaganda spirit.

#in fella's voice# dem bring sorrow tears and blood. Dia regular trade mark.

This clueless jackass did not know the trains existed before now. Yet he is an APC appointed minister of transportation. What a freaking country.

They add more value to it. Unfortunately, they didn't.

Wait o o, why commission a project the former vice president Namadi Sambo commissioned last year.



I SMELL SCAM.

Help me ask am oh.

I know the murderer and the sorcerer will spend their eternity in hell; I just don't know where the HYPOCRITES will spend theirs.

I understand government is a continuum but for a people to now ride the same trains they ridiculed GEJ about IS the highest demonstration of shame- or the lack of it.

Unless Ameachi was being sarcastic, his statement was very sad and unfortunate. He's been active in Rivers state politics since 1999; first as a Speaker and then as a governor, and yet he didn't know we have trains plying PH- Aba and beyond!

How did he end up with his monorail project? Another comedian; typical primitive Nigerian politician. Billions of naira were wasted on that failed monorail project that was supposed to cover a walking distance. SMH!

See the face of the biggest hypocrite.

Imagine, while the station is a walking distance from governors Lodge.

Amaechi and Ashafa look like morticians in that pics. Apc is a scam, if only their gullible almajiri followers both online and offline would wake up while they still can.

PhockPhockMan:

Amaechi is a clown! Baba suwe of Apc.

Just go through that thread in the Op once again, you'll be shocked the way the children of anger and pain called the trains scrap.

Today, they've changed tune.

The only legacy Jonah left is this:

"Jonah and The Forty Thieves"

The wailing ekpa eaters are back

Apc is riding or rather being ridden by Jonas legacy of fraud and embezzlement.

You dey mind the fool?

It speaks volumes about the people who are at the helms of affairs.

Shameless hypocrites!

Integrity demands that when you are wrong you own up to your mistakes. PDP has done theirs, but APC would rather do media trial than apologize to Nigerians.

-Lord

Hmm

Apc supporters will still come here and say they constructed it like they claimed to build refinery in ph

Sambo commissioned the same project last year, so why is Amaechi commissioning it now as if they are the ones that did the project.

lanrehamd:

(shakes head in disapproval) No,they should acknowledge that they are building upon another man's foundation, and not claiming sole proprietorship over it.

Chai!! Chai!!
Amaechi, this GEJ's trains you're sharing like this oh... There's ...

Dividends of democracy from d pace setter Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

Some people actually reason with their anus. No wonder they are called "WAILERS". Governance is all about continuity. If the current government abandons those trains, people will wail, now the Honourable Minister decided to continue with what the past administration left, yet people are still wailing.

What have you people achieved by wailing? If past administrations had continued from what they met on ground & reduced their rate of stealing, we wouldn't have been in this mess.

If this is true then it's certainly a scam

We all know that this was one of the projects of GEJ's administration

Don't you think it's frontpage worthy?

Shaarrrrraaaaap, please stay on topic.
Isn't it a fraud for a government like APC that got power through criticism of everything the former government did to re-commission a project completed and commissioned by previous government?

I tire for una o o.

sergiozlatan:

Do PH - Aba have it own different rail track?


All na Apc wayo.
