The Bodo-Bonny Road and Bridges Peace Committee has endorsed Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in 2027, citing his administration’s role in accelerating the long-delayed Bodo-Bonny Road project and approving its second phase.
The endorsement came during a Medallion Award ceremony held in Abuja on Friday, where the committee praised the President’s intervention in reviving and expanding the critical infrastructure project.
The event, organised to celebrate progress on the Bodo-Bonny Road and Bridges project, honoured the President and his Works Ministers for what the committee described as patriotism, fairness, and courage in taking tough decisions.
The project, which has been in the works for nearly four decades, is considered vital for improving connectivity and boosting economic activities in Rivers State’s coastal communities.
According to the committee, Tinubu’s approval of cost adjustments and the expansion of the project demonstrates a strong commitment to infrastructure development, regardless of political or regional considerations.
They noted that the administration’s willingness to prioritise the road project reflects a broader vision for national development and coastal integration.
The group said its call for Tinubu’s re-election is rooted in the belief that continuity will ensure the completion of the project and sustain ongoing infrastructure reforms.
It added that the President’s leadership has renewed confidence among stakeholders and local communities long affected by the delay of the Bodo-Bonny Road.
The Medallion Award ceremony brought together key stakeholders involved in the project, highlighting the significance of the road as a transformative initiative for the region and the country at large.
