Ibadan – The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday in Ibadan urged Nigerians not to vote for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying it is “ desperate and hungry for power.’’

The minister made the plea at a Special Town Hall Meeting on Infrastructure organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture to showcase the achievements of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Amaechi said that the Buhari administration had recorded unprecedented achievements on infrastructure development in three and half years than the 16 years rule of the PDP.

He said the PDP, while in power, turned the nation to a “feeding bottle” by abandoning critical infrastructure and “ sucking” the economy for personal gains.

The minister urged Nigerians to resist the PDP by voting for Buhari and ensuring that they guard their votes during the 2019 general elections.

Amaechi also said that the ruling party was prepared for an open debate with the PDP on the successes recorded, especially on infrastructure development.

“We are ready for the PDP candidate to confront us with what they achieved in 16 years and compare them to what we have done in just three and half years.
.
“We are open for the debate, our achievements on infrastructure are there to showcase,” he said.

The minister disclosed that the government was working hard to ensure the completion of Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail project by February 2019.

“We are working day and night on this project and we have started laying the tracks from Papalanto.

“I want to thank the people and the communities along the rail tracks for their cooperation because they have never given us trouble,” he said.

The minister also said that after completing the Lagos-Ibadan section of the project, the focus would turn to the Lagos-Kano standard gauge.

Amaechi also disclosed that the government was embarking on a $500 million transit camp initiative on the Ibadan-Iseyin road in Oyo State which would have a modern mall and hotel.

He urged residents of Ibadan to take advantage of the booming economic activities as a result of the Federal Government initiatives.

The Ministers of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola and his Water Resources counterpart, Suleiman Adamu, gave the scorecards of the administration from the perspective of their respective ministries.

buhariguy:
Thief atiku should not just bother to waste his precious time and resources,
He should Better give up than to disgrace himself.
How can he turned back the time?
Will he start to construct the infrastructure he fails to do 16yrs ago?
Where will he start from to be able to meet up with the best president achievement.
The challenge is enormous.
Buhari till 2023,
Apc till 2060.

jumpandpas:
LOOTImi the Judas, you don't need to tell us.

We have tested both PDP and APC.

Any business man that said that he is doing better under APC than he did under PDP must be properly examined.

thunderfirebuha:
When pastor looter osinbanjo is shamelessly calling inec to alter election results... God will punish that dwarf.

buhariguy:
because you are a kid,

So you prefer importation of rubbish into the country to the detriment of our economy to infrastructural and agricultural revolution that will give jobs to your brothers and sisters.

LamidiCownu:
No room for the den of killers in the south west. We shall write the result for our son next year too same way it was done for GEJ in 2015.
Any miscreant who votes against APC automatically votes against our interests.
We have resolved to add PDP's votes to PMB/PYO's next year.
A word is enough for the wise!!!!
