The Indigenous People of Biafra, has rejected the moves to name the second Niger Bridge after President Muhammadu Buhari.
Emma Powerful, the group’s head of media, in a statement, said the rejection followed how President Buhari maltreated the Southeast region since the inception of his regime.
The pro-Biafra group wants the bridge to be named after Joe Achuzie, a late Biafran war veteran from Delta State.
The group further rejected the statement by works minister Babatunde Fashola that IPOB disturbed the progress of the construction of the second Niger Bridge.
According to Mr Powerful, “This is another lie from the pit of hell. We want to challenge Fashola to substantiate his claims. Did IPOB in any way physically interfere with the construction of the bridge by either directly or indirectly hindering any worker either foreign or local handling the project?
