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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
