  "summary": "The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of turning the proposed Ibom Deep Sea Port into a campaign tool, questioning why the Federal Government announced a fresh approval for a project that was already approved in 2020 by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. The opposition party alleged that the multi-billion-dollar project has repeatedly been used to win political support in Akwa Ibom State. Tinubu announced the approval of the project on Friday during a reception and rally organized in his honor in Uyo.",
