The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, on Friday commended President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for keeping to his promise on completing the Second Niger Bridge before the expiration of his tenure.
“Several administrations had used the Second Niger Bridge as bait on the Igbo, especially during the political campaigns. When President Buhari promised that he will complete the second Niger Bridge, not many believed, especially when he could not conceal his lopsided political appointments and other resource allocations against the South East.
“A few days ago, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola , disclosed that the Second Niger Bridge would be open to traffic from December 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023, to ease the experience of travellers during the Yuletide break. And so, it has come. “Surely, President Buhari did not start the work on the bridge, but in a country where the abandoned projects far outnumber the completed ones, vital infrastructure that should have been taken for granted are celebrated.
“While the Ohanaeze Ndigbo-led by Obiozor immensely appreciates Mr President on the Second Niger Bridge, it is hoped that Mr. President would use the remaining few months in office to pursue some other transcendental objectives which will write his name with gold in the sands of time.”All rights reserved.
