South East Governors’ forum has
debunked the allegations making the round that the governors and leaders of the
zone are sabotaging the ongoing construction of the second Niger bridge by
President Mohammadu.
The Chairman of the forum and
governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi, who addressed journalists in
Abakaliki through the commissioner of information and state orientation, Chief
Uchenna Orji, said such allegations were not true.
He noted that the governors of
the zone were committed to seeing the second Niger bridge completed and put in
use.
Umahi said that the governors
can’t sabotage the efforts of President Buhari, adding that the leaders of the
zone were happy for the ongoing construction work and described media report to
the contrary as falsehood.
According to him: “the Governor
did not at any time mention that leaders of the zone are sabotaging ongoing
construction of the second Niger bridge as reported.
“The issues between the federal
ministry of Works and Housing and the Host communities, and the progress of
work at the second Niger bridge have been sorted out generously.
“The pace of work has improved
and for us it is a Major achievement in the socio-economic profile of the south
east, for which we shall continue to be grateful to the President and Commander
in Chief of the Armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu
Buhari.”
