Stop the Lagos-Calabar Highway project it’s not too late – Peter Obi advises Tinubu as FG begins Landmark center demolitions

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, has urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to stop the controversial Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project as it will lead to massive loss of jobs at a time of rampant unemployment.

According to him, it’s not too late to discontinue the Lagos-Calabar highway project, adding that urgent necessities are nationwide security, poverty eradication, healthcare, and education, especially for the poor and underprivileged.

Obi described the reported demolition of businesses and residences in the designated right of way for the project as insensitive and heart-wrenching.

In a post on his X handle on Tuesday, April 30, the former Anambra State governor said that the hasty flag-off goes against the outcry of business and property owners directly affected by the project.
