National Chairman of the Pan Niger Delta FORUM (PANDEF), Ambassador Godknows Igali has called on the Bola Tinubu administration to urgently reverse the  neglect of the Itu-Calabar Road connecting Akwa Ibom and Cross River states in memory of the late president of the Senate, Senator Joseph Wayas.

Speaking to newsmen on arrival at the UJ Esuene Airport, Calabar for the funeral of the Second Republic Senate President he lamented that successive administrations had criminally neglected the road.

GWG.ng reports that Igali spoke after spending 4 hours on Itu-Calabar road that runs for 72 kilometers.

Igali, leader of the apex South-South’s socio-political body stated that the road is presently one of the worst in  Nigeria, describing it as “a road where very little work is being done and as such, has become a death trap in which helpless Nigerian commuters struggle their way along with thousands of heavy duty trucks on the route.

  On a day when Nigerians have gathered in Calabar to pay last respect to the Second Republic Senate President and leader of the National Assembly, PANDEF appealed  to Mr. President to prioritise the completion of the Itu-Calabar road by funding competent contractors as a fitting tribute to the memory of Senator Wayas.

Speaking, the PANDEF helmsman described Senator Wayas as a Nigerian patriot of a special class and appealed that his immediate area; i.e Akwa Ibom and Cross River states must not be allowed to continue to suffer.

Finally the PANDEF National Chairman thanked PRESIDENT Tinubu,  the President of the Senate, Chief Godswill Akpabio and the Governor of Cross River state, Senator Prince Bassey Otu for taking steps to accord the  late Senator Wayas a befitting interment.
