<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that Senator Engineer David Nweze Umahi, Honourable Minister Of Works, has come out strongly to defend the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.</p>
<p>In a statement he personally signed and personally sent to OpenLife, the global news magazine, Umahi, former Ebonyi State governor, stated that <em><strong>“I request the South -East people to rise in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR because he has demonstrated love and fairness to the people of South-East. We must not be deceived again. Mr. President must have the votes of South-East up to 90% to cement this relationship.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Umahi’s thoughts are reproduced below unedited</p>
<p><em><strong>My attention as the Honourable Minister of Works has been drawn to the above misleading and inciting publication.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I understand that politics is now in the air and the chosen path by some persons is to deceive some members of the public, look good before her people as one fighting for them and close both eyes pretentiously over the great and selfless infrastructure development Mr. President is doing all over the nation.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I have directed all ministry of works regional directors back to sites in all the regions across the country to compile all inherited but ongoing projects and all new projects in all the regions so that Nigerians will appreciate the huge works that Mr. President is doing in all the regions irrespective of those that voted for him and those that did not.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Mr President is using fair distribution of infrastructure to reunite Nigerians and renew her hope and only those who open their eyes will see the light of change in Nigeria.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>In addressing specifically this misleading information and for record, Mr. President has Four (4) Legacy Projects, and they cover the six geopolitical zones with South-East region well captured within the Third Legacy project of Cross River-Ebonyi-Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa-Abuja </strong></em><em><strong>totalling 465km x 2 with South-East covering 231.64km x 2 and 231.64km x 1 for â¦445.8 billion already awarded and work is going on. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Mr president already paid â¦108 billion. What happened in the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of 31/7/2025 was a review of that corridor from 118kmx 1 to 231.64km x1 for â¦445.8 billion. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>This misleading writer chose to change the narrative of my press briefing after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of Tran Sahara Section 1 (Ebonyi state to Benue border – 123.64km at â¦445.8 billion but deliberately chose to call it <a href="https://www.vanguardngr.com/">OYO-BENUE BOARDER ROAD</a> to deceive and incite Nigerians.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I demand that he corrects the information immediately even if he fails to apologize.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Where was the writer when President Tinubu GCFR decided to treat South-East fairly in road infrastructure like other regions. Under his administration, 90% of abandoned projects, some awarded as far back as 2013 were all revived and all are now ongoing. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Where is the appreciation on huge ongoing works on the 2nd Niger Bridge access road 2A in Delta State which is valued at â¦146 Billion and 2B in Anambra State which is valued at â¦176 Billion, the Enugu-Onitsha Road -208km ( MTN Tax Credit which is valued at ⦠202 Billion and CBC completing remaining section â¦150 Billion of which â¦45 Billion was released last week), Enugu – Port Harcourt Road in four sections , Enugu-Abakaliki, Afikpo-Abia-Imo road, Onitsha-Owerri-Aba, Aba-Ikot Ekpene, Umuahia to Ikot Ekpene etc .</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I request the South -East people to rise in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR because he has demonstrated love and fairness to the people of South-East. We must not be deceived again.</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>Mr. President must have the votes of South-East up to 90% to cement this relationship. Enough of darkening council without knowledge in South-East. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>We must rise to educate our people. If we want to be president, we must avoid the politics of hate, misinformation and sentiments. We must support other regions and with God one day other regions will support us. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Mr President must be supported to complete his tenure of 8 years which all regions are benefitting from. One day we will be number one but not in 2027.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I will vocally continue to stand against any mischief to deceive our people. We are known for hard work and love and not hate.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I commend our Leaders who are the South -Eastern Governors for their support and the great works they are doing for our people. I want our people to please support them along with our dear President for their second tenure in their respective offices.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>NEVER AGAIN SHALL WE BE DECEIVED</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Signed </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>SENATOR ENGINEER DAVID NWEZE UMAHI </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS</strong></em></p>
