In what could be likened as political trade by barter, President Muhammadu Buhari, has promised to commence the construction of the abandoned 2nd Niger Bridge, among other juicy offers, if the South-East would support his Presidential ambition, in 2019.
Recall, that the South-East had categorically vowed not to lend their support to Buhari, if he eventually seeks re-election, in 2019.
The Buhari Support Organisation, BSO, Enugu State Chapter, who stated this on behalf of Mr President, on Sunday, January 1, appealed to Ndigbo to give maximum support to Buhari’s administration, in its quest to better their lot.
The group’s Publicity Secretary, Chibueze Eze, stated that the construction of the dilapidated federal roads in the South-East, had effectively taken off.
In the statement titled: ‘Enugu BSO’s 2017 Goodwill Message to Ndigbo,’ Eze said: “President Buhari has so far lived up to his campaign promises to the people of South-East zone, and is ready to do more, if given support.
“We are witnesses to the truism that he neither hates Ndigbo, nor is he going to Islamise Nigeria, as advocated by some ethnic merchants,” the group said.
Eze speaking further, applauded the Buhari administration for the progress made on the construction of South-East federal roads, and the approval of an additional N16 billion by the Federal Executive Council, FEC, to put the construction of the Second Niger Bridge on top gear.
“We had wished that ex-President, His Excellency, Goodluck Jonathan, had placed the 2nd Niger Bridge on direct federal contract, like the Owete Bridge in Benue, instead of PPP model; this could have made the project cheaper and faster.” Eze quipped.
He explained that in just 24 months, the current Buhari-led APC administration, will achieve what its predecessors in the PDP-led Federal Government, failed to do on the roads in the South-East region.
The statement read: “For the first time in over 16 years, our people in the South-East are happy with the intensification of work along Enugu-Onitsha, and other federal roads, which were dilapidated, and in a state of disrepair for almost two decades.
“The rehabilitation work for instance on the Enugu-Onitsha road, is being handled by RCC Limited, a reputable construction company in the country. One lane is now fully functional, while work has seriously progressed on the other lane.
“Quite unlike in the past, when scores of lives were lost in road accidents on that road every Christmas, there was not even one report of accident, or carnage along Enugu-Onitsha expressway this Christmas. It was the same story along Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway. Our people had a smoother ride home for Christmas this year, instead of the bumpy ride they had in the past,” he said.
Eze, described the progress made on the roads so far as: “part of the fulfillment of electoral promises, made to the South-East by Buhari.
“Therefore, we urge Ndigbo to use the New Year for stocktaking. They should compare and contrast between what they experienced in the 16 years of PDP, a party they gave 100 percent support, and the 20 months of the Buhari administration”
