Clergyman, Odumeje, slams FG for celebrating repairs carried out on Onitsha Overhead Bridge

Popular South East clergyman, Prophet Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere aka Odumeje, has blasted the Tinubu-led administration for celebrating the recent repairs carried out on the Onitsha Overhead Bridge.

The Federal Government recently completed structural rehabilitation work on the First Niger Bridge (Onitsha Bridge Head) after an emergency shutdown.

The bridge was temporarily closed to traffic on September 7, 2026, after vandals severely damaged critical structural components, including steel bolts, nuts, and specialized expansion joints. The bridge was reopened on September 24.

Speaking in his church recently, Odumeje said

“If I see any of you at Onitsha Head Bridge celebrating that you maintained a 1950s bridge for the South-East, Holy Ghost will kpaiii you there. This country has no conscience. If you see the way the government is showing this bridge everywhere on the internet, you will think it is a newly constructed bridge, without knowing that it is a bridge built years ago. Imagine someone celebrating his car that he parked for over 50 years after repainting it.”
