But Calabar could afford $600m in 2005...
Why do these Southern Candidates avoid criticising the Sokoto - Badagry expressway that costs as much as the Lagos - Calabar. They are afraid of the backlash from the North.
The FG is not even funding the project fully. The FG funds 30% and the 70% will be funded by investors who would recoup their investment from tolls over a period of time. Except we are saying that that our maritime corridor across 9 states is not attractive enough to yield significant direct commercial and productivity returns.
Oga Donald Duke should take a trip to the Calabar Section of the expressway.

Peter Obi found a way to infuse Lagos and Yoruba into the conversation instead of him to have simply told his supporters to leave Pastor Enoch Adeboye alone.
Peter Obi’s hatred for the Yorubas can’t be hidden.
"Peter Obi ran away with 12 billion, from Labour Party. I'm challenging him, because we have the account. " — Labour Party National Vice Chairman (South-West)
When you see young Nigerians make logical, evidence-based arguments, it gives you hope for the future.
Then you encounter some Obidients, and you realize that arguing with people who have already abandoned reason is often a complete waste of time and intellect.
Arsenal players wanted to use some negative football tactics against PSG but got outsmarted by Luis Enrique's genius. Look at how they wasted energy trying to intimidate Vitinha and then Dembele coldly came out of nowhere to break Arsenal fans' hearts -fan
@PeterObi This was you in the last election, constantly fanning ethnic and religious tensions for political gain.
Can you explain how you’re more of a Nigerian than any Nigerian ?
Peter Obi, who for a long time watched his followers publicly ridicule Pastor Adeboye, has suddenly found his voice to condemn the insults, humiliation, and curses being directed at the revered man of God.
Pastor Adeboye is arguably the foremost pastor in Nigeria who never turns anyone away because of political differences. Regardless of the political party you belong to, he receives everyone warmly and offers prayers for all. The summary of his prayers has always been simple: may the will of God be done.
The recent attacks on Pastor Adeboye by supporters of Peter Obi have once again exposed them beyond what Nigerians already witnessed in 2023. These actions have further reinforced in the minds of many Nigerians what they believe Peter Obi and his supporters truly represent, and why they do not mean well for the country. Consequently, many believe this will significantly affect his electoral prospects across the nation.
Realizing the damage these attacks were causing to his public image, you quickly moved to stylishly speak in support of Baba Adeboye while, in your characteristic cunning manner, attempting to distance yourself from those attacking him despite being aware of it.
Sowore, Tinubu, Atiku, and other presidential candidates did not issue statements on the matter because they knew that the insults and humiliation being directed at Pastor Adeboye did not emanate from their supporters. That is precisely why Peter Obi felt compelled to issue a statement.
You understood that Nigerians knew the attacks were from your political movement and you sought to mend fences before the situation further damaged your little political standing, just as similar patterns cost you politically in 2023.
Whether you like it or not Obi,Your true identity and what you represent have now been exposed for all Nigerians to see.
The mask has fallen and the little Nigerians who voted for him in 2023 have made up their minds that the mistake of voting him again in 2027 must never be repeated.
No amount of public relations, political spin or carefully crafted statements can erase what Nigerians have witnessed with their own eyes. The events surrounding Pastor Adeboye have only strengthened the conviction of those who believe that you Peter Obi and your supporters who are agents of Lucifer have once again revealed your true colours.
After years of Obidients attacking Pastor E.A. Adeboye and the RCCG, with elections almost here, he will not simply tell his supporters to stop. Instead, he is here suggesting the madness started from Lagos. If by now you can’t see through this gimmick, it’s no longer your fault, you were born this way.
Note too the framing that the unwholesome behaviour is being carried out by some generic group of Nigerians, when it could not be clearer that these are solely his supporters.
This is the same person who helped put a target on Professor Wole Soyinka’s back and has refused to tell those same supporters to stop attacking him.
And who can forget the one and only candidate to deploy a divisive tactic in the last election? It is on video. That’s before you add the “Yes Daddy! Yes Daddy! Talk to your people” phone call that to this day no one got sued for. Because the call indeed happened, despite the desperate denial.
Immediately Igboho said he’s going to mention the politicians sponsoring the violent activities of killer herdsmen, Atiku became worried, releasing one press statement after the other. Did Igboho mention your name or na just your conscience?
Data Shows Tinubu’s Administration Has Confronted Higher Insecurity Than Previous Ones - George
It has recorded more successes in combating insecurity than previous administrations. What people should understand is the changing nature of the threat. Prior to 2022, the situation was not only about Boko Haram but has since evolved into a broader international security challenge. For instance, last month, a high-profile terrorist figure linked to global networks was reportedly killed in Mali, said to be number two globally and described as one of the most active terrorists, which shows the scale of what the government is dealing with. Despite these challenges, security forces continue to record successes, including the rescue of children and other vulnerable victims.
