The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has publicly criticised President Bola Tinubu for re‑promising the construction of the Ibom Deep Sea Port in Akwa Ibom State, arguing that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should not be making new commitments on a project that was already approved by the previous administration in 2020.
The Ibom Deep Sea Port is a major infrastructure project aimed at improving Nigeria’s maritime logistics. It was formally approved in 2020, during the administration that preceded the current one.
In its statement, the NDC questioned why the APC continues to push fresh commitments on the port, suggesting that the project’s approval should have already set the course for its development.
President Tinubu has reiterated his commitment to the port, indicating that the project remains a priority for his administration.
The exchange highlights the ongoing political debate over infrastructure projects and the role of successive governments in advancing them.
