The Igbo socio-political group adviced the president and the Minister of Works, David Umahi to stand firm in their zeal to complete the construction of the controversial highway.
The urge by Ohanaeze Ndigbo comes days after Obasanjo reproved that the construction of the highway by the Tinubu’s administration was a wasteful venture aimed at siphoning public funds.
However, Ohanaeze Ndigbo in a statement signed by its deputy President General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro disclosed the former president’s remark stems from a place of envy.
Isiguzoro describing the N15.6 trillion project as monumental and impressive alleged that Obasanjo aims to undermine the re-election prospects of President Tinubu.
He stated, “This campaign is not merely the series of unsubstantiated criticisms in consideration rather a concerted effort aimed at dismantling the advancement that has been made under President Tinubu’s tenure.
“The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Super Highway represents one of several pivotal projects poised to redefine the nation’s infrastructural landscape. By maligning this project, Mr. Obasanjo lays bleak his insecurities, fearing that another President of Yoruba wane may indeed outshine his own historical legacy as both a former military leader and voted civilian President,” Isiguzoro said.
He further extolled the minister for his creative leadership and prowess to set such a high stint for the nation.
