Name Second Niger Bridge After Ojukwu – Ohanaeze by valentineuwakwe(m): 10:15am On Oct 21, 2022 |
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has commended the regime of the President, Major General, Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for the completion of the second Niger Bridge. The organisation said the completion of the project had earned Buhari forgiveness from the Igbo people for not fulfilling his 2015 electoral promises, which included revamping the Enugu coal mine. In a statement signed by the Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and made available to newsmen on Thursday, Ohanaeze stated that the project “will strengthen the level of people’s confidence in expecting more from the Buhari administration.” The statement read in part, “We are conscious of the fact that there are about 3.3 km of uncompleted road from the Asaba axis and 7km of uncompleted road from the Anambra axis of the second Niger Bridge. We are hopeful that the contractors will expedite actions for the realisation of 10.3 km of roads from both axes of the roads to ensure that commuters and road users will enjoy the benefits of the Second Niger Bridge during the festival period of Christmas and New Year. “This is a legacy project that Ndigbo will always refer to as the mother of all infrastructural facilities completed by Buhari’s government and should be renamed after Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Bridge instead of the proposed name, Buhari Bridge. “Ndigbo are relieved of unbelievable treaties of previous governments on the Second Niger Bridge and also pardon President Buhari over his inability to fulfil other 2015 electoral promises, which included the revamping of the Enugu coal mine. “ The announcement of the completion of the Second Niger Bridge, including a 35km bypass road linking Anambra and Delta states through a concession under a public-private partnership scheme, has restored the confidence of Ndigbo that the project, which started on September 1, 2018, will be fully ready for inauguration by December 2022. Ndigbo is grateful for this feat and urges President Buhari to complete other projects in the southeast before May 2023.” Source: https://punchng.com/name-second-niger-bridge-after-ojukwu-ohanaeze/

They said Buhari built second Niger bridge but from all indications, it seems Julius Berger actually built it to collect their money through toll. Federal Government can't build bridge in Nigeria and ask the contractors to collect rent to recoup their expenses. 3 Likes |

This very set of Ohaneze leaders are amongst the dumbest I have ever seen in the history of that organization. They have managed to marginalize the igbos to the periphery of political contests in the country with their frustrating lukewarm approach to national politics. This is what happens when you allow the likes of Hope Uzodimma and the wall gecko at Ebony government house to foist Ohaneze leaders on you. After 8 solid years, all that the igbos have gotten is a badly designed bridge for which the igbos will pay through toles! This is happening in the same country where the president is building multi billion dollars projects in another country! No train tracks, no serious international airport, no seaports, no single serious power stations, no gas pipelines.., no... These doesn't worry them. Naming a hapless bridge after Ojukwu is their headache! |

Of course... Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu is bigger than Oduduwaa, Awolowoo and all the sons of the fallen demon dead and alive put together. |

Nigerian politicians don't like Ojukwu, but he remains the most respected Igbo man even in death. The only people who have come close ate Nnamdi Kanu and probably Peter Obi. Goodluck Jonathan would probably have listened if he had completed the bridge as he promised. |
