The Truth About 2nd Niger Bridge - Photos & Video by AutoReportNG: 5:38pm On Oct 27, 2018
The 2nd Niger Bridge is very close to the heart of the South Easterners, according to the cries and agony of this region, the main bridge that links them to the East is already wearing out and so there is a need for a need bridge despite all these years.

The Presidency has been releasing some pictures claiming work is ongoing at the proposed site of the 2nd Niger bridge. Prolific Human Rights Lawyer, Che Oyinatumba was in Onitsha recently and not only did he toured the site, but he also went round and inspect works being carried out at the proposed site for the 2nd Niger Bridge. According to him,

This is ground zero and I tell you for free, APC is lying about the level of completion of the 2nd Niger Bridge!!!

According to the pictures he shared, most of the rods and materials are getting rust and no one was seen on site.

Another man, Mr. Shettima DanAzumi collaborated to the claim too, according to him...

I passed by the second Niger Bridge under construction, except if it isn’t the one u could clearly see while passing on the existing narrow Asaba Bridge, I can tell u with all sense of responsibility, there was nothing to write about.

On Tuesday, we left Owerri for Asaba through Onitsha and then the same route back from Asaba through Onitsha to Nnewi later the same day. And On the 3rd day, which is Thursday, I passed Asaba on our way to Warri and PortHacourt same day also. Throughout these three different times, I took time as we move slowly through the traffic-prone Asaba Bridge, to carefully witness what is going on in the construction and what is the level of progress there, the project is still at a very preliminary level.

See the pictures and video below...

Mr. Olufemi Lawson visited the site too and he wrote this...



COMMISSIONING OF SECOND NIGER BRIDGE ���.

After listening to several APC leaders, particularly their assertions about how PMB has greatly 'Transformed' the South East, despite their 5% support during the 2015 General elections, seeing all sort of claims with pictorial proofs, of the most demanding/critical infrastructure, required by the people of the region, being the 2nd Niger Bridge. I decided to visit the site of the ongoing 2nd Niger Bridge Project, coincidentally the hometown of the Chairman of Oshimili South LGA, Comrade Uche Azuka-Osadebe.

The workers on the ground, mainly security guards, confirmed that those only visibly erected Pillars, were those funded since the days of the last administration and that not a piece of a block has been added, since this arrival of the changed regime. Every type of equipment belonging to the contractor, Julius Berger PLC, have since been moved away from the construction site.

This will only be believable by humans though, not some of those headless morons.

Damn. In a civilised country this bridge would have since been built and with a third or fourth possibly already on the cards.

However, the one Dr Azikiwe commissioned in 1965 still stands without any other to relieve the pressure on it. Imagining the stress that bridge has gone through. The engineers who designed and constructed that bridge are truly world-class.

One day, surely, another president would deliver another iconic bridge linking Asaba to Onitsha and put smiles on the faces of millions who ply that route - and put an end to this senseless 'bridge' politics.

Thanks for the report, AutoReportNG.

jonathan said they should stone him if he didnt complete second naija bridge, guess what? more than 5years in power, he didnt finish it.
all he did was throw religion, ethnicity to the people that needed the bridge most and they gave him 95% of their votes.

So u think everyone is interested in comparison between two failures.
In well organised firm if u re given a job u promised to do well and u fail in doing it only to be blaming the previous guy who handled the job, tell me they wont sack u

Very true. The same tribalist didn't really care about the bridge when Jonathan commissioned a picture.

@ picture the absence of date and time stamp of the picture makes all this tales unbelievable. Progress has been made on the bridge till you prove otherwise.

I was in Onitsha the day Autoreports posted the last update last two weeks, I stood there and looked at the bridge and was disappointed in the OP misleading topic which quickly went to front page.

Nothing is happening in and around the Niger Bridge.

Anybody who votes because of religious or ethnicity alignment is senseless.
as for Jonathan, the reason why Buhari feeds fat on my tax is not to stay there and keep talking about the past without making any progress
Re: The Truth About 2nd Niger Bridge - Photos & Video by Masterclass32: 7:46pm On Oct 27, 2018
The vindictive Buhari will not work on that bridge. He clearly, without mincing words, told the 5 percenters not to expect equal treatment with the 97% that voted for him.

APC's noise in the media about the 2nd niger bridge is nothing but pure unadulterated lies.
