Omo, see as Senate don carry railway wahala for head waka! Na big gist wey dey happen for Naija rail system, as dem don start serious investigation into wetin dey happen for the railway corridor. This matter no be small, as e don reach Senator Abdul Ningi and Senator Adamu Aliero wey no gree hear word again, dem don raise alarm!
Dem don notice say train service dey fall like say dem dey sell firewood, from wetin use to be ten trips daily, now na only one trip dey happen. Wetin dey happen? The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, don call for komitee wey go handle this matter. Na Senator Adams Oshiomhole be the big man of this komitee, as dem go dey check wetin go fit bring back rail service wey make sense.
Dis komitee get work to do, my people! Dem go check how railway contracts dey run, how dem dey handle funds, and if dem even dey deliver wetin dem promise. Abeg, dem don talk say dem go submit report in six weeks, so make we dey look sharp!
Gingered by concern, Akpabio no hide im mind when e talk say, this railway wahala dey make am vex. E shed light on how delay don dey increase, and say the time wey you go take travel Abuja–Kaduna don turn from one and half hour to three and half hours. Wetin happen to our pride as country? Na nonsense!
Akpabio no stop there o! E talk say the contract began under former President Yar’adua but dem carry am pass through under Goodluck Jonathan before Buhari complete am. But wetin we dey see for Lagos? E say person wey dey waka go fit reach where train dey before the train sef go move. Chai! This na very big problem for Naija – we need to do better!
Then, Aliero too don express im anger, say how the Abuja-Kaduna rail dey bring in money, ₦1.8 billion revenue, but service no dey show. E dey wonder where the money dey go. Him don notice say, rail journey wey be quick, don dey turn to expensive jam. Na so life be for Naija now, abi wetin?
Ningi dey push for accountability too. Him wan know why Nigerian people dey pay but train service no dey deliver wetin dem pay for. If we no fit get new trains, make dem still maintain wetin we get rather than giving us second-hand wahala. Naijarians deserve better o!
Akpabio, as the big man for Senate, na him dey lead dis charge to correct all dis katakata. E talk say dem must look am well so that Nigerian people go sabi wetin dey happen with their money and services. Oshiomhole, the komitee chairman, no fit waste time, as dem don charge am say make e start to investigate sharp-sharp.
Dis na time wey dem go also check who dey collect money for bad job. Omo, if we fit drag wetin happen for this railway, dem go fit recover money to fix trains wey dey give us wahala. Na so we go fit get our trains moving sharp once again. We go dey watch how dem go take work, because Naija dey expect results!
