Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The 2023 Lagos State Governorship Candidate under the platform of the Labour Party, LP, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has slammed President Bola Tinubu over what he described as the hasty commissioning of the coastal road that is barely 5 per cent done.<\/p>\n

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road is a 700-kilometre project that is expected to take off from Lagos Island to Calabar in Cross River State.<\/p>\n

In a statement on his X handle on Thursday, Rhodes-Vivour, said it was not possible to commission a project that is less than 5 per cent and still gloat over it as having done anything spectacular.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is it shameful to roll out the drums to commission less than 5% of a project, they still had to lie and spew propaganda on the so-called 30km.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the same way the minister of finance went abroad to reel out fake data only to be checkmated by data from the CBN days after. So embarrassing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile insecurity is on the rise, they are shamelessly promoting the \u2018genius\u2019 of the NSA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe harsh truth is that a party fixated on politics and propaganda cannot govern effectively. That is why Nigerians are much poorer today than they were less than a decade ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
