President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to probe the multi-billion dollar Centenary City project.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Vice- Chairman, (Southsouth), Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, had accused the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, of unilaterally acquiring the Centenary City project with the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road, Abuja, project.
The National Coordinator of the Coalition of Northern Activist Groups, led by the Northern Patriotic Front (NPF), Comrade Ali Abacha, at a news conference in Abuja, faulted the comments credited to Dr. Ojougboh.
He said: “The allegation is not only misleading, but is aimed at negating the good intentions of the project. More so, Dr. Ojuigboh’s attempt at disparaging the character and personality of the ex-SGF is unacceptable. We declare such utterances emanating from Ojuigboh as baseless, directionless and a desperate man’s reckless depicting of acrimony.
“The Federal Government should look into the project, but should not kill it.”
The statement, which was read by NPF’s Secretary, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Isa, said: “Dr. Ojuignoh has unwittingly allowed his personal crises into the public domain to expose himself as a confused man, who does not know the next point from his current position.
“As against his claims of vindictive removal from his position as the former chairman of the Board of the Nigeria Export Processing Authority (NEPZA), by the former SGF, Dr. Ojougboh was relieved of his position on account of gross inefficiency. What has he done as the national vice chairman of the party to forestall this dangerous trend and hold out on his duties and responsibilities as the party’s reference point in that zone? Rather, he has created the picture of a man busy chasing rats while his house is on fire.”
