A late and dishonest parting gift that will be rolled back by this new government coming in. Why did he not do this all these years? Just like the second niger bridge. Igbos have been fooled and bamboozled
ReplyDeleteWhen lots of Africans are in power they forget one day they will also look again unto a government. Then they start to criticize. GEJ was there all this while, he did not inugurate, sign or implement good things that will benefit tge masses, but busy with his wife fighting arround, ministers running parallel government, flying arround the world, hosting other presidents with heavy budget. Petroleum bill is there he did not sign, report for confederation was there which he wasted billions he did not impliment, now at late hour he's creating free zone trade, God is seeing u o, all these deceit u people are shearing....
ReplyDeleteThis man is very controversial. Sometimes, he acts as a Statesman who deserves all respects and supports. But most of the time he behaves as he is being deceived by his enemies pretending to be friends.
ReplyDeleteAll these late actions can be considered coming from a dangerous person. For six years, he never thought Enugu Free Trade Zone is a good avenue for development. Is he doing this to show love and respect for the people of Enugu or to deceive them?
Well, whenever there are carelessness in exercising power, those elected Politicians in charge of good or bad actions that can cause troubles in our society must be ready to make amendment of rules that guide what is good or bad for the country.
