The All Progressives Congress (APC) South-south zone has punched yet
another hole on the bill passed recently by the National Assembly.
According to ThisDay newspaper, the party accused the Senate
Appropriation Committee and its counterpart in the House of
Representatives of doctoring the budget and removing almost N5 billion
meant for the total rehabilitation of the collapsed and terrible
Calabar-Odukpani–Itu –Ikot Ekpene federal highway and reallocated it to a
non-existent constituency project in Kano State.
In a statement issued yesterday by the National Vice Chairman
(South-south) and made available to Thisday, Prince Hilliard Eta, the
party said the action was a setback to the progressive change and at
variance with the infrastructure development agenda of the APC-led
federal government.
“We are very upset that our representatives at the National Assembly
would discard decorum and hinder
progressive change by acting at
variance with the infrastructure development agenda of the APC-led
federal government”.
It will be recall that the arbitrary removal of the Lagos-Calabar rail
project by the National Assembly from the 2016 budget generated so much
heat in the political space.
