The lack of consideration for the concerns raised by the public highlights a disconnect between decision-makers and the communities they serve.
This disregard for public sentiment could lead to significant challenges and resistance as the project moves forward, potentially resulting in delays, legal battles, and a negative impact on the project’s overall success.
Furthermore, the potential implications of pushing forward with the project without addressing the outcry include long-term consequences on the rural landscapes and communities it aims to benefit.
Neglecting to incorporate the voices of stakeholders in the planning and execution phases may result in adverse effects on the environment, local businesses, and residents, leading to a degraded rural landscape and diminished quality of life for those in the area.
“Thousands of jobs are about to be lost, with investments above $200 million at risk. Over 100,000 jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector face imminent extinction, along with 80 small businesses and their 4000 mostly youth employees.”

In the realm of Nigerian politics, the recent clash between the former Ebonyi State Governor and Peter Obi has sparked a heated discourse. The ex-governor has made bold claims, alleging that Obi habitually engages in condemning individuals, consequently attracting judgment upon himself.

And I know they were bringing similar scenarios when His Excellency Peter Obi was the governor. He made a statement saying ”Any infrastructure that stands in the way of the road must go. And there would be no compensation paid.” That’s what he said.
“But look at me, by the human face of the renewed hope agenda administration, we are even paying for people who are illegally staying on the coastal line, and don’t have valid infrastructure and valid documents.
“When you condemn people, you bring judgment upon yourself. And that is what he (Obi) has done. And I think he’s inciting some of the south east people that are not well informed. He is inciting them, and gets them into trouble.
And he doesn’t go to fight for them. Wisdom is a defence. And I want our people to have wisdom because I am involved.
“There’s is no inhumanity meted to Landmark, that matters should be buried because I was there. And so we fought everything possible. Even some people donated property to save his two big infrastructures. That’s appreciation. But some people have taken sides along with him to play politics.
