'President Jonathan's Administration has not Done Anything for South-East'- Bishop Nwankpa
According to the Cleric and Founder of Chapel of
Faith Bible Assembly International, Bishop
Emeka Nwankpa, the South-East zone has not
benefited much from the administration of
President Goodluck Jonathan.
Citing the “lame-duck” Onitsha seaport project,
which acvording to him was a political weapon to
woe Igbos in Anambra State who are
predominantly traders, he warned on the dangers
of neglecting the people of the South-East in the
distribution of social amenities and appointment
of top functionaries by President Goodluck
Jonathan.
He lamented that up till now, the Onitsha axis of
the River Niger had not been properly dredged to
make way for full plying of merchant boats and
cargo barges on the water ways.
He said such had rendered the river port an
economic liability three years after it was
commissioned, DailyPost said.
Bishop Nwankpa emphasized that the much
publicized Onitsha second Niger Bridge was not
purely a Federal Government affair as it was
under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) unlike
other equally cost expensive bridges built by the
Federal Government across the country.
He, however, called on President Jonathan to
reciprocate the immense support he had so far
received from the people of the South-East who
gave him 99% of their votes during the 2011
Presidential election.
