Bodo-Bonny Road: Ogoni youths warn Rivers lawmaker not to politicise project

Youths from Ogoni extraction  in Rivers State have warned the lawmaker representing Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency  at the National Assembly, Mr Kingsley Chindah, and other of his colleagues to stop politicising the ongoing construction of the Bodo-Bonny road project by the Federal Government.

They said politicisation of the project could affect its execution and completion within the stipulated seven years period by the government.

Port Harcourt Spectator recalls that the lawmaker had after President Muhammadu Buhari submitted the 2019 Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly, claimed that work on Bodo-Bonny road had been abandoned.

But, some concerned Ogoni youths, mobilised to the site of the project to ascertain the true position and state of the project.

Speaking at the site, Mr. Fynface Dumnamene, said: “Anybody who says work is not ongoing on Bodo-Bonny road is not being fair. Work is going on the project. To prove that I went to the site on December 21 and again today (yesterday) and we met contractors on site.

“I am calling on the Ogoni, Bonny and Andoni people to give the government the cooperation in the area of security because the importance of the road cannot be over emphasized,” he said.
