Clarification On The Misleading Information On Nekede-Ihiagwa Road
By: Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, February 28, 2025
A few days ago, some #FakeNews merchants, mostly Ihedioha and Sam BABY boys, were on social media sharing fake news about the ongoing Nekede-Ihiagwa road—apparently to divert attention from their current political woes in their wobbling PDP. Some were maliciously posting that it was the recently commissioned Nekede-Ihiagwa road by former President Buhari. These were blatant lies.
The Nekede-Ihiagwa road is not just a Nekede-Ihiagwa road but a long stretch of 17km road project starting from Naze Number One junction up to Obinze (FUTO junction), known as the Naze-Nekede-Ihiagwa-Obinze road project. This long stretch of road was segmented into two phases.
The first phase of the road was well done—from Naze Number One junction up to Ihiagwa, completed and commissioned by the then President Muhammad Buhari.
The second phase of the road project starts from Ihiagwa and ends at Obinze (FUTO junction by Port Harcourt road). This second phase has a complex design due to a broken bridge being rebuilt from scratch. I can authoritatively report that the bridge is over 70% completed, with the final concrete casting on the last bay of the bridge deck moving the project closer to completion.
It is laughable that these politically displaced persons, instead of getting busy with their PDP wahalas, want to divert public attention from their woes.
For those of you waxing lyrical over a piece of #FakeNews, are you not seeing the drainage systems? That’s a road under construction, and over 80% of the work has been done. As you can see, what’s remaining now is just to asphalt it.
In my honor, I can authoritatively confirm that what is currently holding up the asphalting is the ongoing bridge construction at the Ihiagwa axis (as you can see in the attached images), which is almost completed. Once that is done, the entire stretch of the road will be asphalted because the major road work has already been done.
The #FakeNews image being painted as the commissioned road, which they have been sharing to discredit the road revolution of the #PeoplesGovernor, was taken after the recent rains on a road that is still clearly under construction.
The opposition elements had to wait for over two years just to find one thing to critique the state government with because there is truly NOTHING to criticize this government for. The #PeoplesGovernor Hope Uzodimma is performing wonders, and Imolites appreciate him greatly.
