Calls Grow for Recognition of APC Leaders Who Made Project a Reality
By Our Correspondent
GANYE, ADAMAWA STATE – The long-awaited Ganye–Yebbi–Mbulo–Jada road construction has roared back to life after weeks of setbacks, yet the silence of community leaders and critics has raised eyebrows.
Despite earlier mockery from opposition voices when the project temporarily stalled, neither political rivals nor traditional leaders have deemed it fit to publicly acknowledge the return of contractors with a fresh fleet of heavy equipment.
The project, initiated under the influence of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had initially slowed down after disagreements between contractors and their equipment suppliers. The sudden withdrawal of graders and bulldozers sparked a storm of criticism on social media, with many in the opposition ridiculing the APC and writing off the project as a failed promise.
Now that the road works have resumed, powered by new contractors and machines, those who once jeered appear tongue-tied.
Where Are the Voices of Appreciation?
Community members and political observers argue that this silence is not only unfair but also disheartening. The project, they say, owes its revival to the influence of notable figures including the Walin Ganye, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Hon. B. Bichi, and the broader APC government, which has remained committed to fulfilling its promises despite the PDP-led state government.
“These leaders should be openly commended for making this happen. This road will serve farmers, traders, students, and the entire region, not just APC members. Community leaders ought to show gratitude instead of pretending nothing is happening,” a resident told our correspondent.
Beyond Politics, For the People
The Ganye–Jada road, once completed, is expected to transform local transportation, open new markets, and improve access to healthcare and education across the region. Observers warn that if politics continues to overshadow development, communities may lose sight of the real beneficiaries — the people.
For now, heavy machines grind on and dust fills the air, marking the return of progress. But the big question lingers: why do some only find their voices in times of setback, yet go silent in moments of achievement?
