Why Diri’s defence of Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway makes him a ‘local champion’ – Duke
Donald Duke criticized Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri for defending the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, calling him a "local champion" for viewing it only through a Bayelsa lens rather than a national one. Duke argued the project is financially impractical, questions its necessity, and accuses the federal government of using it as a land grab, saying it should be assessed against Nigeria's overall financial capacity and competing needs.
