The Second Niger Bridge’s naming after President Muhammadu Buhari has been criticized by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as being taboo.
The Second Niger Bridge was named in honor of President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, according to news reports.
IPOB questioned why the bridge was named after Muhammadu Buhari because he neither initiated nor released any financing for the project in a statement that was signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful.

Buhari, according to IPOB, did not even attend the inaugural ceremony because he had no regard for Ndigbo and was aware that he was unworthy of any praise in the South East.
The group recommended naming the bridge in honor of Dr. Alex Ekweueme, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, and Dr. Sam Mbakwe, and Prof. Chinua Achebe, among well-deserving Igbo indigenes.
The South Eastern Governors, notably the APC Governors, were criticized for their plans to make Buhari the face of the area.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of the global Family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU has been drawn to the shameful naming of the second Niger Bridge after General Muhammadu Buhari by the shameless Igbo politicians.

“The man that the second Niger bridge is named after did not even show up for the opening ceremony because he had no respect or regard for Ndigbo and knows that he does not deserve any accolades in Biafra land.
“The sellout among the South Eastern Governors particularly APC Governors want Muhammadu Buhari to become the face of the Eastern Region as they display the face and name at the entry and exit point of South East through the bridge.
“Muhammadu Buhari was among the Nigeria genocidist soldiers who massacred Ndigbo at Asaba, Anambra, Enugu, and in the rest of the Eastern region. His government coordinated the influx of Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen who have massacred our people and raped our women.
