Lawyer Critiques Tinubu's Approval of Ibom Seaport

Nigerian lawyer Inibehe Effiong criticized President Bola Tinubu for his approval of the proposed Ibom Deep-Sea Port in Akwa Ibom State, calling the project a fraudulent scheme used by successive state administrations to mislead residents. Effiong accused Governor Umo Eno of leveraging the project for political gain, noting that previous governors Godswill Akpabio and Udom Emmanuel had also announced approvals for the seaport without tangible results.

He pointed out that former President Goodluck Jonathan and former President Muhammadu Buhari had similarly approved the project during their tenures. Effiong expressed frustration over the lack of progress and alleged that state resources had been wasted on the project.

He also condemned Eno for shutting down government activities to welcome Tinubu, labeling it unconstitutional and an abuse of public office. Effiong questioned whether Eno would declare a work-free day for civil servants to attend opposition campaign events.

He further criticized Tinubu's administration for causing hardship in Nigeria.
