A faction of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has urged the National Assembly to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu due to alleged conflicts of interest regarding the awarding of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract.
The leader of the group, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, expressed his disapproval of Tinubu’s recent public statement during a recent interview with The PUNCH, where he condemned the President’s declaration that the contractor responsible for the project, Gilbert Chagoury, was his partner during the inauguration of the 30-kilometre, Phase 1, Section 1 of the coastal highway project.
During the inauguration of the project last Saturday, Tinubu commended the Chagoury-led Hitech Construction Company for its efforts on the road, which he referred to as a “symbol of courage and commitment”.
