Umahi Says Igbos Will Lead Nigeria One Day but Not in 2027
Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has said the South-East will eventually produce a Nigerian President, but not in 2027. In a statement addressing a report titled The Politics of Asphalt: Why is the South East Missing from the Map?, Umahi urged people in the region to rally behind President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election.
He dismissed the report as false and misleading, saying it was crafted to paint the Tinubu administration as neglecting the South-East in infrastructure development.
“Politics has taken over, and some people are now trying to mislead the public just to appear as if they’re fighting for the people,” he said. “They ignore the real and selfless projects President Tinubu is carrying out across the country.”
Umahi, who is also the former governor of Ebonyi State, revealed that he has instructed all zonal directors under the Ministry of Works to return to project sites nationwide and document both inherited and new projects, so Nigerians can see the extent of the work being done.
He noted that President Tinubu is focused on uniting Nigerians through fair distribution of infrastructure, regardless of political differences. “Only those willing to open their eyes will see the transformation happening across the country,” he added.
Nigerian comedian Seyi Law takes to social media as he defends President Bola Tinubu. The comedian stated that the president has done a lot in his administration and claimed that Nigeria is safer and economically sound under his administration.
He then compared how things now to past years under the administration of others, and shared how things were bad. He claimed that now the economy is stabilized.
“Nigeria is safer now than 10 years ago. This government has killed more bandits than any government in Nigeria since the time of Jonathan. When last have you heard of bomb blast in Nigeria?”
It has been reported that fire occurred at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos (MMIA), Terminal 1. This fire incident occurred on Monday, 23rd of February, 2026.
Passengers at that terminal were spotted running away for safety after seeing the fire and the alarm.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) released a statement and shared that no life was lost and people were saved and avoided danger.
It has been reported that Kano State has closed down all entertainment spots across the state. This was stated to happen because of the ongoing Ramadan fast.
The federal government shared that the new law will take place from 18th of February, 10 pm, till the last day of Ramadan. This is in order for the people participating in it to truly focus on the fast.
