Buhari Will Name ‘warri Rail Station’ After Goodluck Jonathan – Amaechi by thisweekng(op): 12:26pm On Apr 27, 2020
The Minister Of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi Has Disclosed Thet The President Muhammadu Buhari-Led Government Will Name The Recently Completed Warri Railway Station After The Immediate Past Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan.

Amaechi Disclosed This During An Interview Via Instagram Live Video With Dele Momodu, Publisher Of Ovation Magazine.

The Minister, Who Described Buhari As A “Shy Person” Who Dislikes Public Show, Said The Completed Itakpe-Warri Rail Line Would Have Been Commissioned By The President If Not For The Coronavirus Pandemic.

Now The Project Is Ready For Commissioning But Because Of Coronavirus Everything Is On Hold. And You Know The President Is A Shy Person. He Doesn’t Like Public Show,” He Said.

“What He Said Is That Let’s Just Focus On Our Achievements And By The Time We Leave Office People Will See What We Have Done But Some Of Us Are Insisting That We Commission Some Of Our Projects. We Have Decided To Name It After Former President Goodluck Jonathan.”

Amaechi Noted That Government Took The Decision Of Naming The Line After The Former President In Recognition Of His Administration’s Tremendous Contribution To The Project.

“When I Was Appointed The Minister For Transportation, The President Warned ‘Do Not Start New Contracts, Go And Complete Old Ones.

“We Met Itakpe-Warri Rail Line Which Had Been In Existence For 34 Years Uncompleted; It Would Have Been The First Standard Gauge Line In Africa If It Was Completed.

“Based On The President’s Instruction, I Did A Memo; I Thought We Will Borrow Money From China But The President Refused. He Said We Should Use Our Internal Funds To Execute The Project.”

In 1987, Work Began On The Line, Which Was Conceived As A Route For Transporting Iron Ore From Mines In Itakpe, Kogi State To Steelworks At Ajaokuta.

However, The Project Was Abandoned For Several Years Before The Current Administration Revisited And Completed It.

The Line Covers Twelve Stations, Two Of Them Situated Between Itakpe, Ajaokuta And Warri.

The Stations Are Itakpe; Eganiy; Adogbe; Itogbo; Aghenebode; Uromi; Egehen; Igbanke; Agbor; Abraka; Okpara And Ujewu Stations.

Amaechi Said Plan Is In The Pipeline To Establish A Yard For Fabricating And Producing Rail Equipment At The Warri Rail Station.

Meanwhile, The Minister Had Also Revealed That The Ongoing Construction Work On The Lagos-Ibadan Railway Project Has Been Put On Hold Due To The Outbreak Of The Novel Coronavirus.

What Ever Happened to naming the warri railway project after Reverred Fallen heroes like Isaac Adaka Boro, David Edjoor Or Even Rilwayne Remains a mystery to me. I Used to think monumental conferments of this magnitude where usually reserved for fallen heroes??
As A Warri Boy, I dont think Dr goodluck jonathan deserves to be idolized in warri because he is not considered a hero here. Warri did not feel the impact of his 6yrs government. When he ought to have revoked the licenses of a.bokis owning oil wells in Niger delta, relocated The head offices of all multinational oil companies to PH and warri and revived our Refineries, Restructured the country, Or Even Given us "NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC". He Was busy serving the Northern agenda, with little attention given to warri. Jonathan Did Not Serve The Interest Of The South South. See How Buhari a fulani man is enriching abokis with our oil today without fear or favor.
Jonathan Is A Collosal Failure To us here And We Will Revolt Against This Nonesense

Cry all you want. Jonathan was a monumental failure who served the interest of the North at the expense of the welfare of the South South people. Asides Sharing money to Militants In the zone, tell me, what else Did he achieve in his 6yrs rule? We know you cant so shut up... jonathan was a bigger failure than buhari in the aspect of prioritising the welfare of others over his own people. Are we not all suffering it today? You think buhari cares about you in your shitty oil spilled village? NONESENSE

[quote author=Balaxx post=88908705][/quote]Because i dont share your ass licking opinion?? Jonathan was a monumental failure to even his bayelsa people. Go to his state and see how backward and destitute they are there. Jonathan Was Only good at sharing money to militants in NIGER DELTA. point to one substantial or laudable project he started and completed in the south south. The only thing most of us could brag about was that our brother was the president, asides that he did nothing. Cant you see how buhari is mismanaging ND Money? U Fit Cough?

1. Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan Railway
2. Kaduna-Abuja Railway

Name one infrastructure that Goatluck Jonaddaft built that can be named after him when he left office. If he had built the 2nd Niger Bridge, it would have been named after him, but no, he didn't, instead the money that would have built the 2nd Niger Bridge is in imPatience Jonathan's accounts.

No doubt, the 2nd Niger Bridge when completed in 2022 will be named after your worst enemy, the nightmare of the Biafrans, Major General Muhammadu Buhari.

The last time I checked, Ameachi is not Buhari's spokeperson
Has it graduated to the sublime to voice the intention of the President when the President has not spoken?

Thought they keep on saying Jonathan is their yardstick of failure? So why name a project after him now? Perhaps they are tired of blaming him.Nonsense govt.
