The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of exploiting the proposed deep seaport project in Akwa Ibom state for political gain.
On Friday, President Bola Tinubu approved the seaport
project after Umo Eno, the state governor, asked the federal government to
deliver the facility.
Tinubu announced the approval during the APC presidential
rally at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, the state capital.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Osa Director, NDC national
publicity, described Tinubu’s promise to deliver the project as another attempt
to deceive voters.
Director said the federal executive council (FEC), under
former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, approved the first phase of
the deep seaport project in December 2020.
The NDC spokesperson said Tinubu also promised to deliver
the project during the 2023 electioneering.
“What a hocus-pocus, what hogwash, and what barefaced lies
and shenanigans of a rudderless party! How many times will the APC approve the
Ibom Deep Sea Port?, Director asked.
“Unfortunately, as is characteristic of the APC, they never
fulfilled the promise. Over three years down the line, President Tinubu on
Friday, 6 November 2026, had to promise again to construct the long-awaited
Ibom Deep Sea Port project in Akwa Ibom State.
“Obviously, this is another round of cheap promises that
will not be kept or honoured. Just as before, so it will be now — empty
promises. All talk and no action.
“As Nigerians are still waiting for the APC and President
Tinubu to give us uninterrupted electricity supply, so Akwa Ibomites are
waiting endlessly for the promised deep sea port that has become a campaign
tool of deceit.”
Director asked Nigerians to “dump the APC into the abyss of
socio-political irrelevance” in 2027.
