 The call for the repair of the east-west road has been a continued cry for people in the Niger Delta. The continued neglect and abandonment by the federal government has constantly affected security and businesses in the area, thereby causing untold hardship on the people. They lamented that they are the worst hit by the bad road following the damage on the Aleto bridge as early as 6am activities on the road were in total lockdown. We have more than 1000 companies in this my place. We have the seaport that comprises about almost 500 companies there. We have NMPC, we have multiple companies around here and you can see the road. Why we are out is because of this road. Apabio has been making fun of this road. If he has taken money from Buhari that he has faced this road, we want to let Buhari know that this road is nothing to write whole about. And that is why the whole youth, the chiefs, the whole youth of Elime land comprises Ogoni, Ocrika and everybody in Kalaba that are applying this road. That is why we are out this money that this road must be faced with immediate effect. We don't need any other company apart from Gilles Verger. Buhari should sign the contract directly to Gilles Verger not to pass through Apabio again. Let them come and face this road. We are not happy. Federal government is not happy in this country and I am praying to God Almighty to touch the mind of Nigerians so that we all should stand up to go and fight our senators and federal has a fresh member because they are killing us in this country. How can you see this road that is making trillions of Nara, they can't come and fix it, which is very bad. We are not happy. The youth of Elime are responding to the horrible state of the road from Elime junction to Tula Park. This road has been abandoned by the federal government because of the federal road. So our peaceful demonstration this morning is to call the attention of the federal government to come and fix the road as soon as possible. This protest has no time limit. We will be here until we get a positive response from the government.
