Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has raised concerns about the controversial Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project, urging the administration of President Bola Tinubu to halt it. Obi argues that the project could result in significant job losses during a time of widespread unemployment.
He emphasizes that national priorities should prioritize issues such as security, poverty eradication, healthcare, and education, particularly for marginalized communities.
Obi criticizes the reported demolition of businesses and residences in the project's designated right-of-way, describing it as insensitive and distressing.
He highlights the impact on livelihoods, investments, and jobs, noting the particularly harsh consequences for the elderly whose homes are being affected. Obi's remarks underscore the need for compassion and careful consideration in public policy decisions, especially amid challenging socio-economic circumstances.
