President
Goodluck Jonathan says the ground-breaking ceremony for the second Niger Bridge
will be done in Anambra state on the 10th of this month.
He stated
this today, while playing host to a delegation of Anambra indigenes led by the
Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Governor Peter Obi and the governor-elect,
Willie Obiano. They were at the Aso
Villa on solidarity visit to the president.
President
Jonathan said the project would have been flagged off long ago, but needed
proper
planning and funding to start the project.
During a
visit to the Obi of Onitsha, President Jonathan promised to launch the
construction of the second Niger Bridge before Obi leaves office on March 17.
While
thanking Governor Obi for his support, President Jonathan urged elected
officials and politicians to focus on developing their states rather than concentrate
on attacking and abusing the president.
He promised to retain Governor Obi in the Federal Government’s Economic
Management Team even after his tenure as governor.
Earlier, Governor Peter Obi said his administration would not have succeeded without support form the federal authority.
