FG SLAMS PDP OVER INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN SE, SS

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
has challenged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to present
its scorecard of achievements, especially in the area of
infrastructural development, in the South-East and the
South-South in its 16 years in office.

The Minister, who threw the challenge while inspecting
ongoing construction of the Enugu Port Harcourt Expressway on
Thursday, said it’s disheartening that some politicians have
made it their pastime to criticize the current administration
for allegedly neglecting the two regions without any
verifiable proof.

“I’m particularly glad that we came on this trip for two
reasons. I think it has given the lie to those naysayers, who
have painted the administration as having done nothing for the
South-East and the South-South.

“When we were coming on this (third) stretch of the road, I
was informed that until this administration came, an entire
lane was completely impassable after it was turned to a refuse
dump. Now the question is: In 16 years, what did the PDP do on
the Enugu-Port Harcourt Road?

”Everything that we saw (along the Enugu-Port Harcourt road)
today is what this administration has achieved, yet some
politicians are so fraudulent. They sit in Abuja and accuse
the administration of doing nothing for the South-East and the
South-South,” he said.

Alhaji Mohammed said the intervention of the present
administration in the provision of infrastructure in the
South-East, in particular, has exposed the PDP for deceiving
the people of the region for the 16 years it was in power
without anything to show.

”From what you have seen yesterday and today, you will see that
this administration has done so much for this zone. We
can now see that some people are just misinforming the public. I
am glad that from the feedback we are getting, the people in
the South-East know what is going on because they know what
was going on for 16 years and are also here in the last three
years and they have seen the difference,” he said.

The Minister gave the assurance that the federal government
will remain focused on completing inherited projects across
the country.

“The most important thing is that this government has been
faithful, sincere, passionate and committed towards
infrastructural development. What we are doing has never been
done in almost 16 to 20 years at least along this axis,” he
said.

The Minister, who is currently on a nationwide media tour of
federal government infrastructural projects, had earlier
inspected ongoing work at the Second Niger Bridge, where he
expressed satisfaction with the pace of work
