Pastor Chukwuemeka Odumeje has alleged that the Federal Government is using the ongoing repair of the Onitsha Head Bridge for political purposes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking to members of his congregation, Odumeje questioned the timing of the repair and raised concerns about the amount of money reportedly budgeted for the project.
He said:
“Federal Government has come to play politics with Onitsha Head Bridge. That is because election is close, they have come to repair it.
“If you hear how much they budgeted for that, you will be shocked. Before you know it, it will take too long to reopen. All the elites in Igbo land are busy making noise.
“It’s so shameful that in 2026, there is no embassy in the South-East. Before anyone can get a visa, he or she must travel to Abuja or Lagos.
“When we talk about one Nigeria, every major tribe should have at least one seaport and one international embassy. But in the South-East, there is nothing. Our elites keep deceiving themselves.”
