Umahi Urges South-South to Support Tinubu After Bridge Reopening
The First Niger Bridge has been reopened for vehicular movement after being closed for 38 days due to emergency rehabilitation works. The reopening ceremony was led by the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, who stated that the swift completion of repairs reflects President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to maintaining critical national infrastructure and ensuring the safety of Nigerians.
Umahi explained that the closure was necessary for comprehensive maintenance of the bridge. During the ceremony, he praised Tinubu’s infrastructure initiatives in the South-South region and urged local residents to reciprocate by supporting his re-election bid in 2027.
Additionally, Umahi addressed content creators, advising them to avoid making unverifiable smear attacks. He also clarified that full-blown construction has been ordered for the East-West Road, which spans all South-South states.
Road users expressed their appreciation for Tinubu's infrastructural efforts and commended Umahi for his work.
