I have consistently continued to respectfully appeal to those in office today to prioritise reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and other infrastructure over commencing new ones.

I left someone in Onitsha on Saturday night to take the first bus to Lagos on Sunday morning. Until I left Lagos at 8 pm yesterday, he had not arrived in Lagos. He only arrived in Lagos at about 2 pm today. A journey that usually takes a maximum of 8 hours now takes nearly two days.

This is not just about bad roads. It is about lost man-hours, stranded passengers sleeping on highways, wasted fuel, damaged vehicles, delayed goods, and businesses losing millions of naira.

Nigerians do not need new projects just for the headlines. We need functional roads that make life and economic activity possible.

A government must understand that infrastructure is not necessarily about the size of the project; it is about the number of lives and livelihoods it improves.

A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO

Today, I met the so-called “opposition” at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt, and I asked them a simple question.

What exactly are you opposed to?

Are you opposed to corruption, when many of you helped build and sustain the system that institutionalized it? Are you opposed to poverty, insecurity, unemployment, darkness, and the destruction of public education and healthcare? Or are you merely opposed to not being the ones currently occupying Aso Rock?
