The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Vice-Presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that he oversaw the construction of the Lekki Deep Seaport from its beginning to completion, accusing President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of taking credit for the project.
Amaechi made the claim on Thursday at an ADC stakeholders’ meeting in Edo State while responding to a question about whether an ADC government would develop the proposed Gelegele Seaport to the standard of the Lekki Deep Seaport.
The former Transportation Minister said several deep seaport projects were approved under former President Muhammadu Buhari, including the Lekki project, although he noted that the idea dated back to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.
