Watch: Peter Obi Demands Open Access at 2014 Niger Bridge Flag-off

In this throwback clip from 2014, then-Edo State Governor Peter Obi publicly challenges President Goodluck Jonathan at the Second Niger Bridge ceremony. Obi asks why the event was held inside a restricted tent instead of out in the open. He insists the bridge belongs to the people and they should see its commissioning firsthand, not be kept out in the name of security.

Do you think Obi's call for a public ceremony back in 2014 still resonates with demands for transparency today?

True talk – that demand for open access back then still hits home for anyone asking transparency today.

It's interesting that the event was behind a restricted tent despite Obi insisting the bridge belongs to the people.

I'm not convinced Obi's challenge to Jonathan was more than a political stunt to score points in 2014.

Providing future infrastructure updates online and broadcasting flag-offs openly could avoid questions about transparency.
