President Bola Tinubu has announced the approval of the long-awaited Ibom Deep Sea Port project in Akwa Ibom State, a move criticized by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a political maneuver. The opposition party claims the project was already approved by the previous administration in 2020 and questions the rationale behind the new approval. The NDC's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of using the project as a campaign tool rather than demonstrating commitment to its implementation. The party also highlighted the Federal Government's failure to deliver on other promises, such as providing uninterrupted electricity. In a separate incident, a political rally organized by the NDC supporters in Asaba, Delta State, was attacked by suspected thugs, resulting in one death and several injuries. The Delta State Government condemned the violence and called for a thorough investigation.
