The Nation Newspaper Lagos-Calabar Coastal road: You goof again, Presidency blasts Atiku
The Presidency has slammed the former presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar for misrepresenting facts to the public on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway project.
“To Atiku’s chagrin and utter disappointment, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway has been rightly praised for the huge economic impact it will create and how it will be a game-changer in improving the quality of life of Nigerians, especially the economy of the nine coastal states it will pass through. Importantly, the road will boost agricultural and tourism economy on a grand scale.
“Contrary to the claims in Atiku’s endorsed press statement, at no time did the administrations of former Presidents Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan award contracts for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway to any company at any varied and revised amount. So the question of costs comparison does not arise.
It however expressed disappointment that a man of Abubakar’s stature, as a former number-two man, would be so persistent in fanning ill-will, engaging in divisive politics, especially at his age.
