The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has called on the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Bola Tinubu over alleged conflict of interest in the award of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract.
The Afenifere leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, expressed disappointment at Tinubu's recent public declaration that the contractor handling the project, Gilbert Chagoury, was his partner during the inauguration of Kilometer, Phase 1, Section 1 of the coastal highway project.

"All President Tinubu is doing is building a road to his own Atlantic City," Olaitan said in an interview with PUNCH.

"He openly said the contractor is his partner. That means he awarded a federal contract to himself."
aitan questioned the rationale behind commissioning just a small portion of the highway, suggesting that the government may have no further intention of pursuing the full stretch of the coastal road once the portion leading to Atlantic City is completed.

"Why commission just four per cent of the road? That road leads straight to their private development. If that part is done, they may abandon the rest. This is a clear conflict of interest," he insisted.

The Afenifere leader called on lawmakers to take action, saying, "The National Assembly must prove that it is not complicit. If they are truly independent, they must act now. We cannot condone this. This is not how to run a democracy. The president has itted to a breach of public trust."

"I am calling on the National Assembly to start the impeachment process now if they are a truly independent and vibrant national assembly and if they are not equally complicit. We can’t condone such a thing," Olaitan added.

SaharaReporters reports that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract is being executed by Hitech Construction Company, a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group, which also spearheads the Eko Atlantic City project; an ambitious real estate development built on reclaimed land from the Atlantic Ocean.

President Tinubu, while inaugurating the project last Saturday, praised the Chagoury-led Hitech Construction Company for its work on the road, describing it as a “symbol of courage and commitment”.

“To the contractors and my partner in daring, it was tough for us… We came together to tame the Atlantic,” Tinubu said.

The project, valued at N15 trillion, spans 700 kilometers across nine coastal states, including Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River.

SaharaReporters had reported that the project Tinubu awarded to his associate's Chagoury without any competitive bidding, and the contract was awarded on a single-source basis, contravening the Public Procurement Act and Environmental Impact Assessment Act.

APC is the worst thing that happen to this country.

Good advice from the authentic Afenifere.

APC is the worst thing that happen to this country.

Nigeria has been on a downward spiral since 2015 the satanic APC rigged the election.

Tinubu and APC.
One week, one trouble

what did you gain during PDP regime

See question from a supposedly s.ane person? Chai.

olawaleatanda:

We gained the largest economy in Africa during PDP

Umahi better be careful and not allow himself be used like Emeifele because the coastal road will definitely send people to jail

SarkinYarki:

Both Umahi and Wike will surely end up in jail.

This current crop of politicians in the APC have a day with posterity and God Almighty

It will be Nigerians vs Apc in 2027 we can't continue like this.

In spite of your claim that Emefiele was used, be reminded that he dubiously acquired 753 duplexes. What would have happened if he was not used?

Pls answer the him him the simple question ok

We gained the borrowed robe of the largest economy based on superficial indices, despite the fact that the minister of Finance as at then, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Publicly itted that Nigeria was insolvent and too import-dependent.

Common sense is not so common. Impeachment over contract to a trusted hand.

Haters will always hate.

Them no fenifere oh. People in the axis know taking 3 to 5 hours just between Sangotedo and start of lekki Épé so commissioning is already over 10 years overdue so that people can start to use it.

PBAT and Uzodimma we appreciate you.

How Alibaba and the fourth thieves thought they would get away with this Broad day Highway robbèry beats me!
Reno, Umahi, and the professor have forgotten that no matter how they propagate to protect the government and the president, the truth will be found out.

Answer the question, instead of trying to change the narrative.

This one loud
Increase the volume to the hearing of NASS but I they're rubber stamps.

What have we truly gained under the APC?

We've slipped to fourth place among Africa's largest economies and may fall even further, with countries like Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia, Angola, and even our West African neighbor, Ghana, reportedly close behind and poised to overtake us.

We've become the poverty capital of the world, and Nigeria now has the highest number of malnourished children globally suring even war-torn countries like Sudan.

The harsh reality is this: even the worst of the PDP era is obviously better than the best we've seen under the APC. To deny this is to ignore the obvious or worse, to be complicit in the nation’s decline.

These Afenifere should stop talking like they are babies. How many times do they see governors impeached by state houses of assembly let alone a president?

Who are this brainless Afenifebi group that is clamouring for impeachment of the president?
They should be arrested for their sinister plan. The road they are criticizing will open up another economic corridor for the nation. We must not be myopic.

Drunkers.. Tulumbu must finish his 8years

olawaleatanda:
what did you gain during PDP regime

economic growth, peace , stability, and over all of them all we are not shouting Ebi ń pa mí in 2015 when they took over

Se e siere

I told people here on Nairaland that this road project will end after Lagos or at most Ogun state. The rest will be cosmetics touches at most.
Trusting Tinubu and his gang of Yoruba Moslems has never been good idea.

There's no solution to the problem of Nigeria. Just accept your fate as a Nigerian and stop stressing yourself

This one came from ohanifere and not Afenifere
