ADC Critiques APC's Promises on Ibom Deep Sea Port

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of deceit regarding the Ibom Deep Sea Port project. In a statement by ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the party noted that President Bola Tinubu recently promised approval for the port during a campaign rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

However, they pointed out that the project had already been approved by the late President Muhammadu Buhari in December 2020, specifically on December 16, when the Federal Executive Council approved the first phase of the $4.6 billion project, naming Bollore/Power China as the preferred bidder. The ADC criticized Tinubu's announcement as a display of ignorance and labeled it as another instance of unfulfilled promises by the APC.

They expressed skepticism about the APC's ability to deliver on such commitments, emphasizing that Nigerians are still waiting for basic services like uninterrupted electricity supply.
