Neglecting the Niger Delta? Ex-Lawmaker Blasts Amaechi, Backs Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road
Hon. Oghene Egoh, a former member of the House of Representatives, has accused ex-Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi of sidelining the Niger Delta during his tenure.
Egoh alleged that Amaechi placed more importance on constructing a railway to Niger Republic than on delivering vital infrastructure projects in the South-South region.
Speaking in Lagos while responding to Amaechi’s criticism of the Lagos–Calabar coastal road project, Egoh defended the initiative, calling it a “transformational” venture capable of boosting trade, strengthening interstate relations, and stimulating economic growth.
Amaechi, a former presidential aspirant, had reportedly labelled the coastal road project “fraudulent” and vowed to scrap it if he became president.
Egoh, who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2024, also commended President Bola Tinubu’s policies, including the fuel subsidy removal, expressing confidence that they would yield lasting benefits despite current economic challenges.
