Long overdue protest

They should go and protest in front of the refinery, Eleme petrochemicals company and other oil companies in Eleme local government and stop disturbing our peace!

Buhari wey ear dey pain nogo listen ooh...afteral Rivers state follow for the 5%.

Buhari that has refused to pay back the money spent by the state government to fix federal roads in the state.

amazing, so law makers can protest too. i thought they are functionally only to make laws.

That bridge is the link to ph refinery,Eleme Petrochemical,indorama,Daewoo,Npa,onne port,OGFZA housing over 300plus companies both oil,oil servixing amd construction companies.

How many vehicles ply that route in a day made me loose appetite to Work there.
Containers falling on staff buses and pedestrains.

The summary is that we have jokers As leaders cos they will only Come either when one of Their own is been buried,the way they did when Patience Jonathan's mom was being buried Or After collapsing and taking lives with it.

That Akpajo bridge has been bad. I remember when I used to go to One FLT/FOT and even Deeyor and BDere axis.

So Your hardworking Governor is waiting for Buhari to fix Bridge also in his state? wait for Buhari to come and fix some brain for you as well.

No tangible FG project in Rivers, if you know please tell me.
Yet this a state that generate billions for FG. Nonsense

that's a federal road, state can't fix anything in that road without FG approval

MUST FEDERAL GOVT REBUILD THE BRIDGE; HOW IBMTT WIKED THE STATE GOVERNMENT? UNA GO WAIT TIRE

doing a new bridge is the best but billions will be sifon from the contract, the protest is an awareness for approval to loot from it
Nice jone From wike

Why police no open fire on you, if it's ordinary Nigerians, police will harass them.

I pass this bridge to work every day. It's a death trap waiting to explode, but my life and that of my loved ones will not be used for the experiment in Jesus name . Amen.
*Spits*
The bridge is a shamble connecting very rich Federal govt financial Hub.

All those calling Wike you guys are simply ignorant. When Wike became governor in 2015 he proposed to construct that section of the road from Akpajo junction to the Aleto bridge and up to the Refinery Junction. The contract was already given to Julius Berger, work was to commence in ernest but Ameachi and co pulled strings at the federal level and that job was brought to a complete halt. Since then nothing was done up till now.
Last month when NDDC MD came to see the sorry state of the Bridge he promised to fix the bridge, the Zone Bs that exists on this space where falling over themselves and some even recorded it as the greatest achievement of mr 'INTEGRATED Corruption' administration in Rivers State. One month after we are back to the point of origin.
My prayer has always been that God should protect his own children.

I thought your son Goatluck Jonathan has fixed everything before sharing the loot to his gang of 40 thieves

In 2015. Wike went to the multinational companies in that axis and asked them to provide some amount of money for the repair of the road. But issues came up when the State Government directed them to pay them the money instead of paying to a contractor that will Work on the road.
