Enugu-Onitsha Expressway: Nwoye gets Fashola to order contractors back to site

Dr. Tony Nwoye, the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate in Anambra State, has expressed delight over the decision by the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing to move to the site of the abandoned Onitsha – Enugu Expressway.

Speaking after a courtesy call on the Minister, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN, on Monday morning, Nwoye said the ministry has ordered the contractor to move to site within two days to resume work on the road which had been abandoned for some time now.

“I have the assurance of the Minister that the contractors would move to site within two days,” Nwoye was quoted as saying in a statement issued by his spokesman, chairman Media sub committee of his campaign organization Barrister Nonso Madu.

“Even before I became the candidate of the APC, that road had been on my agenda and it was by God’s grace and with the assistance of my colleagues in the House of Representatives I was able to put it in the 2017 budget of the Federal Government.”

“The importance of that road to the socio-economic well being of the people of the Southeast cannot be over-emphasised and it is my hope that once the road is completed that business and other socio-economic affairs that had been affected by its terrible conditions would be boosted.”

The statement noted that Dr. Nwoye was able to meet the minister and push the demands because of the platform he had as a candidate, saying that as governor he would be able to push more things to the interests of Ndi Anambra.

“The minister received me because I was the central player that pushed the project into the 2017 budget and also because I have an enhanced platform as a governorship candidate and for this I am grateful to the people and also to the minister.

“This also a demonstration to all those who have confidence in our political project that as governor I would be able to do more for our people.”

At the flagoff of his campaign penultimate Friday, Dr. Nwoye had asked Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to order the contractors handling the project to immediately go back to site.

“This is to tell those who say that I was too bold in telling the vice-president during the flag-off to order the contractors to go back to site that the Federal Government would respond to our demands when they are genuinely made and for this I am grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Osinbajo and off course, to Mr. Fashola who is directly in charge and has been sympathetic to the project.”

Your lord and savior called GEJ did nothing to the road for about 6 years that he was president. What moral justification do you then have to ask a Fulani man to do the same road for you?

Criminal Nwoye can not be my governor

Naturally I should be supporting this young man at least for being my fellow youth but his antecedents isn't credible. I hadn't enrolled in the university when I heard about his cult activities by my cousin who was his mate. When I eventually did, the name Tony Nwoye aside NANS, was still associated with cultism even though he was long gone.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

Obiano

Nice one.

There is no worse road in Nigeria like Enugu onitsha express...
All the politicians in the region use it for campaign..
They abandon it immediately after being elected as they suddenly remember that it's a federal road

Tony Nwoye is a criminal
Woe to any fool who votes for him

Why not give them 2 hours ortimatum? When you didn't pay them not make budgetary allocation for the road.They always think everyone else is stupid
