The raging controversies surrounding the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is yet to abate, especially the strong criticisms of the project by the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi.
Obi has been vocal in his criticism of the project and the gale of demolitions that has followed. He has also been at the receiving end as several Nigerians and the Federal Government took turns to lambast his position.
Reacting to the gale of media attacks on his criticism of the project, especially accusations of playing double standards when he embarked on demolition of properties as the governor of Anambra State, Obi, in a series of tweets on his verified X handle on Thursday, defended demolitions carried out under his tenure, describing them as strategic.
