Dear @Elkrosmediahub I sometimes get tired correcting you guys. But I will continue to do so for the sake of history. Let me repeat what I explained to your fellow Obidient @Uptownoflagos in the past regarding the same claim of Obi building the first 10-lane road in the south east. The road you are bragging about is a section of the FEDERAL ROAD from 1st Niger Bridge to Enugu popularly known as the Enugu-Onitsha expressway. This road has been existing for decades. Around 45km of this road is in Anambra State, that is, from Onitsha head bridge to Amansea (just after Awka the state capital). Peter Obi after getting approval from FG rehabilitated the section from Head Bridge to Odumodu junction just after Nkpor - that's less than 25km. From Odumodu to Amawbia and to Amansea (border with Enugu State) is not part of it. Most importantly, the road is not a 10-lane road. It is a 6-lane road. Peter Obi did not construct any 10-lane road in Anambra State. Don't edit history. In fact, Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju (Odera) was the first and only Governor till date in Anambra State to construct an 8-LANE road in 2002 - the road from Aroma junction to the three-arms zone. He did so with lesser resources o. Now back to what Obi constructed in Onitsha. For those who don't know Onitsha and Nkpor well let me break this down and Cross I hope I won't have to do this again. The main Enugu-Onitsha expressway from Head Bridge to Awka and all the way to Enugu is six lanes. There are two service lanes on either side of the express road from Onitsha head Bridge to Upper Iweka interchange (which feeds into the Onitsha-Owerri road) and then from Upper Iweka interchange to Inland Town just before the Grail Center, Onitsha. These service lanes when joined to the 6-lane main carriageway gives you the 10-lane that Obidients celebrate every Eke day. Meanwhile this is just a 3 miles stretch. Crucially, THIS 10-LANE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE AS FAR BACK AS 2003 WHEN MBADINUJU WAS GOVERNOR (see Google Earth satellite imagery of 2003 in the thread). So, Peter Obi NEVER constructed any 10-lane road. I repeat, PETER OBI NEVER CONSTRUCTED ANY 10-LANE ROAD. Peter Obi of course constructed the Nkpor flyover, which is part of the Enugu-Onitsha expressway. Unfortunately, two years after Obi left office, his successor, Gov. Willie Obiano had to repair section of the NKPOR flyover that was caving in as seen in this attached video. This is typical of Obi's infrastructure projects. Governor Willie reconstructed the Amawbia section of the Enugu-Onitsha expressway to Agu Awka and constructed THREE flyovers at Amawbia roundabout, Kwata Junction and Aroma roundabout. These flyovers changed the skyline of Awka and have been intact ever since. I can imagine if it was @PeterObi that built those three flyovers in Awka... (In this thread you'll see satellite images of the various sections of the road including historical satellite images from 2003 of the same road) So, please let me use this opportunity to appeal to Progressives, anywhere you see Obidients making claims about Obi's legacy in ANAMBRA please kindly tag me to VERIFY for you. I know everything Obi did in Anambra and I can always always easily puncture any lie. Be it in education, health, agriculture, housing, infrastructure civil service, trade and commerce, etc. Just tag me. Cc: @jeffphilips1 @woye1 @egi_nupe @fimiletoks @DOlusegun
