 Fubara eyes Sept 18 comeback as Ibas pushes projects completion

The governor’s media aide, Jerry Omatsogunwa, told The PUNCH that residents were eager to have Fubara back “to continue the good work he was doing.”

“The expectation is that these projects will be revived immediately so they don’t suffer setbacks—projects like the Ring Road, the Omoku-Elele Road, the Trans Kalabari Road, and many more. I believe he will want to accelerate them to ensure people get the full benefit of their money.
