We know already. Before they arrive here to shout GEJ this and that, they should first tell us what they all did about those roads before GEJ, starting from Buhari's first coming to his second coming. We supported Goodluck the same way we supported every other former and present Nigeria president. What do we get in return? Negligence and abandoned projects here and there. Allow us go na, no, we must be one but can't be treated as equal. Nigeria I hail thee

I won't blame GEJ but mention just one road GEJ reconstructed in the SE or SS when he was president? I'm not blaming him o

alWith Osinbajo's $2b for 2nd Niger bridge, how can we still have bad roads?

Blue3k2:
The Vice President’s Spokesman, Laolu Akande, has clarified the error in the publications credited to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on release of fund for construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge.

The clarification on Tuesday came as some media quoted Osinbajo as announcing $2 billion instead of N2 billion for the project.

According to Akande, during the APC Governorship campaign in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Oct. 20, Osinbajo had reiterated the Buhari administration’s commitment to keeping its promises to the Nigerian people.

He said that one of those promises was the construction of the second Niger Bridge, adding that the correct amount released was in the official news release he sent on the Vice President’s remarks during the campaign rally same day.

“I did quote the VP as saying that “the Sovereign Wealth Fund paid N2 billion for that same project (Sum paid to the contractor: Julius Berger for early works).

“We will definitely see our second Niger Bridge, we will not make promises we cannot keep,” Akande recalled.

He, however, observed that a short video clip from the event captured on the news segment of a television channel quoted Osinbajo as mentioning “$2bn”, and not “N2bn”, which was what he had actually meant to say.

“Mentioning the dollar currency was inadvertent.

“As it happened, the excerpt from the video, which was shared online, was what was quoted in the headlines of some media houses, and in comments on social media.

“The figures were misplaced. Kindly set the records straight, from the speech I had sent.

“Please note, again, the sum provided for this is actually two billion naira (N2 billion),’’ Akande added. He stated that it was also pertinent to state that the highlight of the rally and Osinbajo’s remarks was the commitment of the administration to improve the country’s transportation network and economy.

“The APC government is a government that will do everything it has promised. We are not making promises for nothing.

“The second Niger Bridge we have been talking about it for a long time, but for the first time, the President went by himself to negotiate the facility to do that second Niger Bridge.

“That is why the second Niger Bridge is in our current budget and we have provided for it,” the Vice President was quoted to have stated.(NAN)

They always charge you deve even when you are doing it for them.

InvertedHammer:


They blame GEJ because he refused to fix his place and instead concentrated in fixing the North that had been the primary beneficiaries of the national cake. PH airport is a mess. East-West federal road is in shamble. Enugu-Onitsha is not worth mentioning anymore. Is it PH-Enugu?
Abacha used PTF to develop the North. Instead of GEJ to capitalize on his tenure to bridge the gap in infrastructural development, he was busy building almajiri schools and giving $2b to Dasuki. A man who has the opportunity to build his falling house but chose to rebuild the house of well off neighbour is a slowpoke.
Did you see how the Hausa folks rewarded his magnanimity in 2015 election?

And one idiot will jump out and ask why the call for Biafra is rising,
In order to save face ,the mumu will start blaming goodluck.
Whereas it is the same mumu chameleons who demonized GEJ and Stella oduah for Making Enugu airport international.
Tribal politics is their game, that's why they supported the north in electing buhari.

baralatie:

seriously there is NO road built,reconstructed in the s.e and s.s at all during GEJ administration?

Yyeske:
SE youths don't ask for deve, that one na SS language

Shot straight to the point and stop being a cowardly girl
Even the fact that you claim to live in abuja has not removed tribal bigotry from your life, Asadike that lives in ibo land is even better than you in expression of her feelings without the fear of her fellow ibo men with diff opinion to hers.
You on the other hand love licking the balls of the ibo boys here

Amarabae:
so early to start weeping and gnashing your teeth.

liberalsinnerx:
Afonjas will tell you that why are the state governors not doing their jobs in SE and SS. But when you tell them that these are federal roads, they say why not build/repair and then get reimbursement from federal government. But you tell them that Anambra for example has spent over 20 billion over the last 7yrs building/repairing federal roads but only been reimbursed 20% of the cost thus far.
