In a widely circulated statement, Peterson dismissed the government’s claims, alleging that several of the roads presented as completed projects were either already existing before the current administration, still under construction, or in poor condition.
He challenged the state government to provide clear evidence and locations of the roads said to have been completed, insisting that transparency was necessary for public accountability.
According to him, some projects showcased during official anniversaries of the administration were reportedly still unfinished at the time they were presented as completed.
Peterson further stated that criticism of government performance should not be dismissed as political hostility, but rather seen as part of civic accountability. He argued that every administration should be judged based on its own record, regardless of the performance of past governments.
He also pointed to economic and public service challenges in Calabar, including difficulties in accessing cash at banks, describing them as signs of broader governance concerns that require attention.
The commentator maintained that citizens have a right to question the use of public funds, especially when significant federal allocations are received monthly. He urged the government to respond with verifiable facts rather than political pushback on social media.
